New York Gone Vintage

A store alert is flashing on Third Avenue at Vintage Thrift Shop, where vintage fans and brightly colored rotary telephones to antique globes, and 1920s decadents like vanities, chandeliers and silver frames, draw in your girly-side.

One key advantage of shopping in small boutiques, resale and thrift shops is inventory (merchandise turns over much more quickly or displayed merchandise changes), sales (owner discretion allow discounts throughout the year or on a whim), and bargaining (all items are opening to negotiation--always).
