Places to Shop Vintage & Secondhand In the Upper West Side
Can you believe it? Our Upper West Side location is officially turning two years old! We’ve loved every second of being part of this neighborhood, from meeting all of you to treasure hunting alongside the best of them. To celebrate, we’re sharing our favorite UWS spots to thrift, browse, and discover one-of-a-kind gems.
If you thought downtown was the only place to score vintage and secondhand treasures— think again. The Upper West Side has its own secret thrifting scene, and we’re here to spill it.
Unique Boutique
487 Columbus Ave, New York, NY 10024
This is your hidden gem for true “what even is this but I need it” finds. The selection is small but always surprising, perfect for those who thrift with patience and an eye for the unexpected.
Housing Works (73rd & 96th)
306 Columbus Ave, New York, NY 10023 & 2569 Broadway, New York, NY 10025
A neighborhood staple with two locations to hit. Housing Works is always stocked with quality clothing, furniture, and books, plus, it’s all for a good cause. We love popping in regularly because you never know what might be waiting.
Saint Francis Thrift Store
202 W 97th St, New York, NY 10025
Old-school thrifting at its finest. Hidden inside of a Saint Francis Church, the racks are packed, the prices are unbeatable, and the thrill of the hunt is alive and well. It’s the kind of place you go in with no expectations and leave with your new favorite jacket.
The Niche Shop (79th & Broadway)
2206 Broadway, New York, NY 10024
You know we had to include ourselves! From Italian charms to vintage Coach bags to curated clothing drops, our little pocket of Broadway has been home for the last two years – and it wouldn’t be the same without you.
2nd Street (94th & Broadway, plus Columbia opening soon!)
2519 Broadway, New York, NY 10025
Japan’s coolest resale shop has officially landed uptown. Known for their mix of streetwear, luxury, and everyday vintage, 2nd Street is the perfect place to score something trend-forward without fast fashion guilt.
Grand Bazaar Flea Market
100 W 77th St, New York, NY 10024
Every Sunday, the UWS turns into a thrifter’s playground. Vintage vendors, antique dealers, local artists, you name it, you’ll find it. Grab a coffee, stroll through, and if you are lucky enough we might be there!
Salvation Army (47th & 10th)
536 W 46th St, New York, NY 10036
If you’re up for a mini field trip, head a little further south to the Salvation Army in Hells Kitchen. It’s a massive warehouse-style spot with racks on racks. Perfect for bulk thrifting days or when you’re feeling extra patient.
From tiny church basements to curated boutiques, the Upper West Side has officially earned its spot on NYC’s thrifting map. Next time you’re in the neighborhood, make a day of it, hit a few of these spots, say hi at The Niche Shop, and celebrate the love of secondhand with us.
Here’s to two years of UWS thrifting magic, and many more to come!
