    My new alternative to Goodwill. They accept donations.  05/08/23
    Marianne W.

    Upper East Side Thrift Store is a pleasant alternative to Housing Works and Goodwill. The customer service is excellent and the store is clean. The hours are very convenient and they will take donations! I do have to load up my shopping cart and it's a longer walk to donate. I'm glad that I have this alternate location since my Goodwill Store is supposed to be closing. I'm recommending.

    Always find something cool and special, great prices. They put new stuff all day long so always something new. Definitely worth checking

    If bargain hunting is your guilty pleasure (like it is for me), then this place must be on your list. Their selection always changes with plenty of interesting stuff at cheap prices!

    They have everything at great prices! From books to clothes to house hold items, it is the new best thrift store on the upper east side. Goodwill who? Housing works what? Nahhhh, UES Thrift Shop is superior to them. Great service and welcoming too. Nice to see this new addition to the neighborhood.

    What a great find on the upper east side. In a time when every business is a smoke shop, this awesome store is a breath of fresh air. They have some wonderful finds! Clothes and jewelry, toys, and some name brand wearables. Well worth the visit from downtown to get some finds that will definitely be scooped up in the village. Also I found out the owner is Ukrainian after seeing the "stand with Ukraine" sign in the window. Great to shop local, and support a new business uptown.

    Love the store. Best prices and amazing quality. I found here really amazing pieces. Definitely worth it.

    Clothes

    Very good selection and good prices. They have mens women's and also video and tech items

    Very nice cosy thrift shop, which just opened, today I believe. There you can find amazing stuff, bring donations. I was able to find almost new Gucci watch and very beautiful cloths. I am totally amazed and will be back definitely. ​

    Good spot to drop off household items including books. If you hate to just throw things out this is a good solution.

    this place was super cool, prices kinda crazy on some of the pieces but that's with all these…read morecurated vintage shops. The workers were chill and the area where it's at is cool. You can take some nice pics outside.

    L Train has single handedly gotten me more "Damn where did you get that from lil bro it looks…read morefire..." than any other clothing store in Manhattan, and on an inflation buster budget. I'm so sick and tired of going into a "vintage" store where T-shirts are $100 and up. It goes against the whole ethos of vintage clothing smh. The whole fun of shopping vintage is coming up on a piece for the low. Shirts at L train are typically between $8-$15, unless they're hanging up on the wall then they will run you ahahaha. They have such a big inventory and wide selection of items that it may get overwhelming, but if you come in here locked in and keep your composure you will come up on something forsure. Go during the week though if possible, it's a ZOO on the weekends you'll be fighting for your life. I have gotten my 3 favorite pairs of jeans here for under $40 total, the velvet suit jacket I'm wearing in the attached pic for $12, some Lebron 3s that have become my outdoor hoop shoes for $40, and more shirts than I can count. L Train is so great, in fact, that it has almost become cool to hate on. If you're lowkey insecure about your homie having a better fit on than you, you try to get ahead of it and clown him by saying "You hit L Train today, huh?" THANK YOU L TRAIN! PLEASE DON'T SWITCH UP!

    Visited today on Easter. Love my finds. It was my first trip to the area. Strolling by on a rainy…read moreday. So beautifully organized and so many discerning selections. All were carefully curated and displayed. My only dismay was not being aware of the important work the shop does as a non-profit before I randomly popped in as I was enjoying a stroll for some "me" time during a busy family trip. The woman with glasses, who I assume was the "manager/owner", was very passive aggressive with me and came off disrespectful and unwelcoming. I overheard her negotiating pricing on some items with other customers and when I was ready with my two vintage cameras (to be used for decor/props) and one pretty beat up purse (all totaling $75 w/o tax), I inquired if they were willing to do $70 for all. I wasn't sure what taxes the city/state charged so I wanted to be sure had enough on my card (a visa gift card a friend gave me when I was diagnosed with cancer) to cover the taxes. She loudly and obnoxiously replied "NO. WE DON'T HAGGLE HERE". I found it repulsive and aggressive when I had been so overly kind and impressed with the shop during my visit. It certainly caught me off guard. Especially after hearing her indeed "negotiate" pricing with other guests. She didn't even make eye contact with me but made sure to speak her words loud enough to try to embarrass me. I was not embarrassed, rather appalled and disgusted. So much so that I recalled other travelers from my party and told them not to come down to the shop. On the other hand, the two male clerks working with me were so kind, lovely and helpful during my visit. Kudos to them for staying pleasant and gracious in that moment that was intended for ugliness. While the encounter at the very end of my trip soured my visit, I would still encourage others to go and I will likely be back again next time. After visiting their website trying to figure out what I did wrong, I see that the work they do is impactful.

    Nice! Passed by Vintage Thrift Shop while walking around Gramercy on a sunny Spring day and was…read moredrawn in by its window displays. While I can't speak to the Men's or Women's vintage clothing in its selection, the furniture and other stuff was fairly priced. Definitely would stick my head in again whenever I'm in the market for items for my place. Vintage Thrift Shop clearly has some great finds!
