I love this funky little store and it has something for everyone. Original graffiti art can be…read morecustomized on pretty much anything (by the owner himself) and works by local artists are displayed throughout the store. Handmade jewelry, Knick knacks, records, clothing, home decor, furniture, candles (graffiti scented!) and much more. This place is like a treasure chest of unique items - and you can't find them on amazon! When we came for the opening my husband purchased a smaller art piece for his man cave and I will be back to buy an original Sade t-shirt for my sister when it nears her birthday. Tons of hip hop references from my youth are throughout, nostalgic for us older millennials but works by young artists keep it fresh for those who don't remember rap before Biggie died. If you don't find what you are looking for, ask the owner (Sam) and I'm sure he will make/find it for you. Shop local New Jersey!

The uniqueness of his shop and the kindness of his personality are the icing on the cake when needing to scratch the creativity itch.

They have boxes with descriptions which help to find items if you are looking for something specific. They have a large variety of vintage and 80's & 90's clothing which was cool to see. Prices are a bit high for my thrifting taste but not bad. Jean jackets were $15 & light female varsity vintage jackets were $10. Definitely check them out if you are looking for some cool vintage pieces.

One of the most appealing things this place offers is a rack outside of the store which offers $5, $10, and $15 clothes, no hidden strings. But if you don't find anything suitable there, then you have to go hunt inside the store. The store is scented with some kind of perfume and offers a curtained area that you can walk into to change. The majority of the clothes inside the store are actually fairly normally priced, so if you don't find anything outside, you're not really gonna get any deals otherwise.

I agree with the other Jennifer L.--, wandering a massive thrift store is practically a sport. For me AT is a guilt free pleasure and well deserved break from work. Parking: Avoid the small lot during peak times. Park on the street or in the lot across the street. Pricing: Yes, prices are creeping up, but that's the case for all thrift stores, and this is a for-profit store. I do see some weird "Wheel of Fortune pricing" on random items (like Corning Ware or Vince clothing), but I just let it go. There are still deals to be found, and they are replenishing items all day long. Discounts & Bags: Look at the monitors to see what is 50% off, or snap a pic of the today's sales sign on your way in. A note on shopping bags: yes, they make you check them in. Bring a huge blue IKEA bag, check it in, get your ticket, and grab a cart. Carts disappear fast on busy days. Dressing Rooms & Bathrooms: There are 3 fitting rooms and 2 bathrooms. They will ask you to park your big shopping cart outside because it's a cramped setup, and there is a 5-item max allowed in the fitting room at a time. The Elevators: They are not broken; they are just slow. It's an old factory building, and the elevators are shared with the staff who are restocking all areas all day long. It just requires some patience. The One Change I'd Make: I wish they would hang up some mirrors--at the very least near the coats or scarves. It would save so many extra trips back to the dressing room. Checkout: The line to pay ebbs and flows. It can be winding around the store, or it can have four people total. Even when the line looks scary, it does move. The cashiers are friendly; sometimes one might be having an off day, but that is rare.

You just need to either look or ask for it. They have tons of comics, baseball cards, jewelry both real and costume. They have a butter churn that was amazing to see. I also found a piece of Star Trek memorabilia. I found 2 books I wanted to buy but they were expensive new. I explained I didn't want to pay more then 50% retail price for it. The lady explained that prices might be negotiable. Both books came out to much less then I was willing to pay. I walked out a very happy customer. They also buy everything they sell from instruments to sheet music from portraits to paintings. I was amazed at how organized everything was and how much the store actually held.
