Upper Green Side

Support Your Local Thrift Shops

The Upper East Side has many thrift shops that support good causes and serve as a great way for used items to find a new home. They are a great way to get rid of unwanted clutter in your apartment - like clothing, books, kitchen goods, working electronics, etc. In return you get to write off the fair market value for those items. It’s also a place to find great deals if you’re in the market for the same items.

Housing Works, which has a thrift shop located on 77th between Second and Third Avenue, raises money to provide services and advocate for the 30,000 New Yorkers living with HIV that live in homeless shelters, on the street or in otherwise inadequate housing conditions. Below is a list of other thift shops in our area. Call ahead to find out what they accept and what their hours are.
