Reminiscence

This is a great place to shop for that person that you have no idea what to buy for. The little toys and novelty items are just silly but in a fun and goofy way. Who doesn't want or need pink poodle swizzle sticks? It's hard to justify buying some of these items for oneself, but no one is going to turn away a gift from here. more

This is one of my favorite vintage stores in the city. The clothes here are very retro and funky. They sell lots of little toys and fads from years ago. I bought a really cool mood ring from the sixties for three dollars and change. The shoes are in the back but they are not in great condition. Prices vary. more

Second hand furs, leathers and wedding gowns rub elbows with kitschy toys and novelties. Here are some of my favorite things that you'll find: - Silly band-aids made to look like realistic lips, bacon strips, cats, scars, devils, etc. - Keychain toys that similate 6 diferent rude noises - Die-cast pink cadaillacs and vintage VW beetles - About a dozen varieties of rubber duckies - in camoflage, with devil horns, in floral patterns etc. - Wigs, glasses, costume type stuff. - Metal lunchboxes with vintage images such as pin-up girls and the Beatles. - A wide variety of greeting cards with silly, rude, ironic, or just funny images - 8 different types of laminated maps of Manhattan (bus, subway, lower Manhattan etc.) - Toiletries like miniature rubber duckies in glyceryn soap, and the Dirty Girl line. - Glittery costume jewelry and hair clips - Silly "action hero" dolls such as Moses, Jesus, and a male nurse... It's pretty hard to sum up this store - drop in and play with the VAST variety of fun toys, oddities and vintage clothes. Even if you buy nothing, you'll have fun browsing. more
