Lu from Mart and Lu asked me to check out some vintage shops in the city. I've been to quite a few, but there are so many it's kind of hard to see it all, let alone list even! But I'll give it my best shot and feel free to shout out any of your favorites that they must check out on their next visit.
Zachary's Smile
9 Greenwich Ave
New York, NY 10014
212-924-0604
and
317 Lafayette Street
New York NY, 10012

Both locations carry a large, well edited collection of vintage clothing, footwear and accessories.
They also offer select independent designer fare as well as Zachary's Smile house collections.
Screaming Mimi's

New York, NY 10003

Buy, Sell, and Trade is their motto! But be forewarned... if your clothes are out-of-style or not in season, they won't accept them!
Living on the Upper East Side, I've stumbled into quite a few thrift shops on the weekends as well...
(212) 426-7643

*You can make some great furniture finds in the Housing Works Shops... especially the Yorkville location on 90th and 2nd! Bid online for the really chic stuff!
