I bought every hardcover Harry Potter book at housing works for $3. Nerdy? Yes. But also thrifty! Brooklyn Heights' rich people's trash is now my treasure. - Elizabeth, blogger TheFABlife.com
Mysteriously related to No Relation somehow, has virtually the same stock for cheaper. I got a 70s Gucci bag here for ten bucks. Great scarf/boot selection. Grungy but cheap.
FOR EXPERIENCED THRIFTERS ONLY, this place is a cheap ass gold mine but requires fortitude. Clothes are thrown in big blue bins, totally unsorted, new stuff all the time. THE CHEAPEST THRIFT IN NYC.
This long-standing store is best-known for trafficking in party dresses, which makes it one of the first places to go if you need a special-occasion, one-of-a-kind gown.
Helmed by stylist Malin Landaeus, the color-coded racks are loaded with pristine picks from the '50s through the '80s.
The E Vill one is sick due to huge volume of trendy girls in the area. Go on weekday mornings, and dig dig dig. Some of my best all-time bargains here including $17 vintage DVF.
Has stellar looks from the '50s, '60s and '70s: full-skirted party frocks, Mad Men-style sheaths and bohemian maxi dresses.
This vintage shop sports a great collection of well-organized finds and home furnishing. Get lost in the racks of dresses, leather jackets, and grandpa sweaters. —Andrew Bevan, style features editor
