East Village Thrift Shop 186 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, New York 10003

"This is an amazing thrift store in East Village, with a lot of great and vintage stuff. I found a lot of cute pieces for a reasonable price. The atmosphere of this thrift store is great. I will definitely check this place out again."

"Good selection and some great pieces, but the whole shop stinks of mildew and all the clothes do too. It takes a couple washes to get the stink out. Worth it sometimes but not a pleasant shopping experience. At least it’s an actual THRIFT shop for this area, not a vintage mart."

"This place has all their clothes donated and still has the decency to mark them up $30-40 without glancing at anything for stains and tears—so many of the clothes have very noticeable stains, holes and ripped up lining in the coats and the prices stay the same. The store is very dirty and they often spray really strong febreze all over the clothes (while people are in the store) so i had to leave because i couldn’t breathe. really tacky. Also, everything is packed so so tightly because they are given so many items but it makes it impossible to sift through."

"GREAT thrift store, lots of racks so high chance of discovering smth, and i have gotten rlly cute clothes from here. last time i went, last sunday, it was a little picked clean, i couldn’t rlly find anything, but i guess that happens sometimes. it was pretty crowded, but such a cute store!!"

"This place has some magic. I’ve only been twice but both times the very first pair of jeans on the rack have been the exact right size and style that I’m looking for. And that’s saying something because I’m a size 12 woman and they were both men’s jeans. We went back after my first beloved pair got too worn out to be worn in public very often. First time I thought it was luck. Second time, it’s definitely magic."
