Off Broadway Boutiques
Dressing divas since 1970, Off Broadway's clothes are sparkling, vivid and far, far too garish for almost everyone's taste – and yet somehow this thrift shop has stayed in business for 40 years. Maybe it's the odd gem or two tucked into the back section, called Re-Runs, that keeps people flocking in: hidden in the bins are vintage finds by Yves St Laurent, Dior and others. The owner also scours the globe for emerging designers and features their clothes in the front of the shop. There are real bargains to be had, but you'll have to search for them.

Arthritis Thrift Shop
There are plenty of thrift shops donating to a good cause on the Upper East Side; this is the granddaddy of them all. It's been collecting high-end hand-me-downs since 1948, as you'll see from the curious collection of bric-a-brac. Still, there is treasure amid the piles, especially for shoe and handbag fiends (and don't miss a root through the scarf bin). The salespeople maintain a designer rack for couture clothing near the register; that's where to look for your Prada, Balenciaga, Bill Blass, Halston and so on.
