Thrift stores in New York
If you like the hunt, New York, NY is worth a wander: 155 second-hand and charity shops are mapped here. 46 of them are charity shops and 109 are independent second-hand stores, so New York gives you both flavours of thrifting in one trip.
This guide covers every thrift store we could verify in and around New York (within about 40 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include Hee-Space Thrift Shop and Housing Works Thrift Shop, plus Su'juk — each with its own personality, which is half the fun. If a shop's missing from New York's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet — the scene is bigger than any single dataset.

What the map tells us about thrifting in New York
59 of the 155 shops list their opening hours, which is unusually helpful for New York — thrift stores are notorious for surprise closures. Still, call ahead if you're making a special trip to New York; volunteer-run shops sometimes close early on quiet days.
42 shops have websites listed, worth a look before you go — some post new arrivals or sale days online.
The New York thrift circuit
Plot these 155 on a map and the day plans itself: Hee-Space Thrift Shop, Housing Works Thrift Shop on 306 Columbus Avenue, Su'juk on 216 Greene Avenue, Housing Works Thrift Shop on 2569 Broadway, Big Reuse on 1 12th Street, Dream Fishing Tackle on 59 Norman Avenue, Sunnyside Thrift Store on 45-12 Greenpoint Avenue, and Just Things on 47-28 Vernon Boulevard. That's the full New York circuit in one sensible order. 147 more are listed below.
Thrifting tips for New York
Regulars learn these fast; visitors to New York can skip the learning curve:
- Follow the shop if it's online at Hee-Space Thrift Shop. Some stores post new arrivals or sale days on social media. One follow costs nothing and catches the announcements.
- Smell the leather at Housing Works Thrift Shop. Real leather smells like leather. If it smells like plastic, it is plastic — price it accordingly.
- Learn your fabrics. A quick touch tells wool from acrylic, leather from pleather. Natural fibres at thrift prices are the whole game.
- Shop the wrong season on purpose. Coats are cheapest in spring, fans in autumn. Off-season racks are picked over less and priced to move.
Good to know
We searched about 40 km around New York — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to for a thrifting run. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new shop in New York can take a while to appear. Spotted a closure among the 155, or a shop we missed entirely? The map is the source of truth here — one OpenStreetMap edit corrects it for everyone.
Prices at New York's thrift stores are set by each shop and change constantly, so we don't list them. As a rough rule, charity shops are the cheapest, independents sit in the middle, and anything labelled vintage costs more everywhere — New York included.
Thrift store listings for New York: 155 mapped from OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL). Photos from Wikimedia Commons contributors; individual photo credits appear in captions. Listing data was last refreshed automatically — verify hours before visiting.
