Answer 11 of 22: Any ideas about good thrift store shopping? I love Salvation Army and assume there must be lots of interesting places to find treasures in New York. Are there parts of town where they are found? Thanks! Simigirl More on tripadvisor.com

I'm fond of Le Point Value on the corner of Flushing + knickerbocker. disorganized as hell but I've found some of my fave wardrobe staples there over the years. Around the corner is L Train, there's a huge huge huge one and then a smaller one with mostly designer/trendy vintage/Adidas tracksuits (?) The small one is overpriced as hell, but the big one is great if you're looking for something specific, like a sweater, or jeans, or a German military jacket, or an 80's beaded and sequin shirt with shoulder pads (why are there so many of these?). It's super organized. as a bonus, there's a greek place down the street from both of these called Yia Yia's which is LEGIT. More on reddit.com

a lot of these answers (awoke, stella dallas, tokio 7) are vintage and secondhand but NOT thrift! (thrift is cheap, proceeds usually go to charity, etc.) you may want to specify if you’re interested in all secondhand shops or just thrifting, just FYI in case you’re on a budget my recs for thrifting: housing works, especially the soho and chelsea locations, and cure thrift. a little more curated but still close to thrifting prices would be L train vintage and urban jungle!

You just have to hit as many as you can to find your spots. There are tons of spots in Brooklyn and Queens. I'd start going down the list. YMMV on what appeals to you. Are you looking for designers? Vintage? Cheap deals? Some places have less man presenting options so that would be a factor. What is overpriced to you? If you are talking cheap cheap, you might want to be going to the bins. What did you not like about L Train? I think L Train is a good spot. They have a lot of locations so worth checking out different ones. Their Urban Jungle location usually hits: https://www.ltrainvintagenyc.com/new-page-3 There are many stores in Manhattan with a lot of variety. Not all of them are overpriced or "bad." I like the Goodwills in Manhattan. I find them to be well priced, especially with half price tags, and a lot of good finds. And they have a rewards program. But I usually find with some digging and patience, most stores will have some good stuff, as if the nature of thrifting. Depending on what you are looking for, I would add Domsey Express to the list. Le Point as well. Other People's Clothes too. Also, the GANAS thrift store on SI, Everything Goes https://www.etgstores.com/ If you can get out of town, there are some great spots all around us too.
