Margs’s 5-star review: Shhh, I don't want too many people to catch on, but I have bought many, many dresses here - so many that it's like I have my own mini-Cadillac's Castle in my closet. Oh Cadillac's Castle. You have such a silly name and only one dressing room, but I love you. -
Margs’s 5-star review: I was literally drooling over the bags here - they have a great selection of vintage bags, shoes, clothes, belts, just about everything. The prices are very reasonable and Edith is a total sweetheart!! -
Margs’s 4-star review: I finally got around to checking out Mina and it lives up to the hype. It's a gigantic store and it's laid out like a nice boutique. I was actually worried when I stopped by on my way back from the gym that the sales people would be rude to me, given my slightly disheveled appearance, but, nope! They greeted me warmly and were very nice! So, the clothes are a mix of new and consignment - pre-worn, if you, will by celebs and models and who knows who else - and there's a lot of them, if you are looking for inspiration and/or to blow some serious cash, it's not possible to walk away from Mina without at least a few pieces. I also love that they also use their blank walls to display art/photography exhibitions. They had some amazing b&w photographs up when I visited. -
Margs’s 5-star review: Any consignment store that has a section solely for Chanel and Hermes is an automatic 5 stars. They have the best selection of luxury clothes and the assistant in the bridal department was very helpful and nice, although it was obvious that I wasn't a serious bridal shopper. (I just decided to try on a few gowns on a whim.) There wasn't a huge selection of bridal dresses, but the assistant said that they get new gowns in every week and a half, so you never know...

Margs’s 5-star review: One of the best vintage places I've come across. Tons of items in a range of prices - love the $30 bin - and time periods. Unless you dress like Betsey Johnson, you won't build an entire wardrobe here, but you will definitely find some unique conversation starter pieces to punctuate it with. -
Margs’s 5-star review: This place has some very cute vintage jewelry here all at prices one can actually afford. I found a $12 necklace and some cute $10 rings. They also have $5 drawers divided up by pendants, necklaces, rings, bracelets, etc. that you can dig through. I didn't find anything, but it was still great fun. -
Margs’s 5-star review: I have been trying to think of a word to describe this place and although the word is totally dated and a bit hokey, I keep coming back to "neat." Pippin is possibly the only home furnishing store in Manhattan that is actually in a home. From the street, you walk through a long hallway to an outdoor area, in the middle of which is a freestanding house. How the heck did they build a house in the middle of all of these tenement buildings? Inside, I love how homey everything feels and how the owners made an effort to lay their wares out in a logical way - usually resale furniture stores just cram stuff into every inch of space that they have (a la Junk) making it hard to actually see what it is you're looking at. Anyway, awesome store - a must-stop if you're in the neighborhood. -
Margs’s 5-star review: cute, cute shoes!! at reasonable prices to boot. usually vintage stores are a little skimpy on their shoe collections but at daha, it's the other way around. -
Margs’s 4-star review: Tokio7 has a decent mix of designers, but since it's no longer anywhere near being a secret, I feel like things get picked over fairly quickly. My best find here was a pair of Chanel slingbacks for $65! But I've also gone many times since then and found nothing, so it really is hit-or-miss. I read on Gawker that Chloe Sevigny has been spotted selling her clothes here, which is cool... -
Margs’s 5-star review: It's true that Tokyo Joe doesn't have as much real estate as Tokio 7, but they still have some fantastic clothes at great prices. During my last visit, I spied (with my little eye) a hot pink Nanette Lepore dress, a fuzzy black Club Monaco sweater dress, and a black and white Diane Von Furstenberg print dress, all which were priced below $70. Awesome. And I didn't find the staff to be the least bit snooty. So there. -
Margs’s 5-star review: I love this place. It is literally crammed with junk of varying quality- but there are a lot of great deals to be had. Right now, they have a handful of armchairs on "super sale" for $25. Where else can you find any sort of furniture piece in that price range? I also love sifting through their collection of old photos and records. Fantastic. -

Margs’s 4-star review: Ladies oh ladies. If you are looking for designer bags, this is the store for you! I saw really nice, barely used Fendi, Chanel, LV, etc. Granted, they are not giving the things away, but everything is still well-below retail rates! Anyway, I am adding Second Chance to my list of places to revisit. I also like how magical it seemed when I was standing outside the door, checking out their sign and out of now where I get buzzed in. I thought "well, this must be a sign!" but really it's just a well-placed security camera...they know you're down there and they want your business! -
Margs’s 4-star review: There are plenty of designers to be found here, including the obligatory pair of Prada heels every consignment store has. (How is it that Prada has made so many unattractive shoes?) but you have to really comb through the racks. Everything is quite affordable, however, so it's definitely worth a look-see. -
Margs’s 4-star review: This is the best of all of the Amarcord shops. They have a small but thoughtful selection of clothes and the store is cute and well laid-out with good music and chandeliers... -
Margs’s 4-star review: Cute little consignment store down the block from my favorite lingerie store. Prices are fair and they have a good mix of mid-level (Ella Moss) and designer (Chanel) clothes. Evidently, this is the first New York location for this New England chain. -
Margs’s 5-star review: The clothing at Fluke is curated very well. The clothes may be vintage, but everything is supercute and wearable in 2007. The prices are also reasonable; however, the sizes can run a bit small. -
Margs’s 5-star review: Fille De Joie has such a fun atmosphere (think Parisian rock, lots of paintings) it almost doesn't matter if the clothes are great. As it is, they are! A great place for unique and sometimes offbeat vintage finds. -
Margs’s 3-star review: Viceversa calls itself a "vintage warehouse," but really it is just a thrift shop with racks and racks of clothes. I suspect that it would take hours of sifting to find anything really worthwhile. Think Andy's Cheepees - lots of t-shirts and a boy-friendly atmosphere.
