These are NYC's top vintage shops for secondhand shopping, according to Yelp
New York's thrifting scene just got its flowers—and its receipts. Yelp dropped its list of the country's most saved spots for secondhand shopping and the five-borough sweep (okay, technically two boroughs) proves what closet-diggers here have known for years: we do secondhand better than almost anywhere.
Five New York City shops made the national ranking, with two boutiques cracking the top three. Leading the local charge is L Train Vintage in the East Village, landing at #2. Right behind it at #3 is Bushwick's dense, rack-packed Urban Jungle.
Rounding out the local roster was East Village mainstay Cure Thrift Shop at #8, fellow East Village fixture Tokio7 at #10 for those chasing designer consignment finds and Williamsburg's 10 Ft Single By Stella Dallas at #12, a longtime cult favorite for vintage denim heads and Y2K revivalists.

Once New Yorkers buy secondhand, they're babying it. Yelp's data shows that while searches for "thrift shop near me" are up a jaw-dropping 2,200-percent year over year, the real work begins once the haul makes it home: searches for tailoring services are up 111-percent, refinishing is up 82-percent and bag restoration has climbed 77-percent. (Even vintage clock repair is having a moment, per Yelp's collection notes, with searches spiking 167-percent.)
Yelp compiled the list by ranking thrift, flea market, antique and vintage-consignment businesses nationwide based on total saves and review activity, capping each state at five spots for geographic spread. So next time you're elbow-deep in a rack in the East Village, know you're part of a very well-documented citywide obsession.
