@tammysuI would call the Chamber of Commerce and they might be able to help you. I have done this several times when we were going to travel.

There are a ton on 22nd or 23rd st on the East side. I don't remember exactly but last year I was taking a walk down one of the streets and was amazed at how many thrift stores there are.

A friend in need is a friend indeed.

There are so many in NYC....I worked in the Flatiron district and would often walk through thrift shops in the East and West Village and the Flatiron district. I can't recall their names but some are very specialized like kitchen and home, jewelry, books, clothing. I went to school on the upper east side and there were many there as well. It's probably best to google "best thrift shops in NYC" near where you will be....they are actually rated and start there....just walking in NYC you will find many in the neighborhoods not like on Fifth Ave or near shopping locations....if you are staying in a hotel, check with the concierge....there may even be tours. NYC has tours to everything and everyplace so it wouldn't surprise me if there is one.

@tammysu- I did Google as I suggested and there are many "best of" listed and some by neighborhood and what products they handle. There are shopping tours as well that specialize in thrift and consignment shopping....below is one:

I didnt post links for the best thrift shopping as it is probably against standards but as said, Google and you will find many...
