What are you, a baglady coming in for a convention??

Sophie, here is my list of vintage clothing stores in NYC, you might want to call ahead to make sure they are still open. Also, if you make a purchase in one shop ask them to make a recommendation for your "next stop".

Alice Underground, 481 Broadway between Broom and Prince St, (212) 431-9067

Screaming Mimi's, 382 Lafayette Street bet 4th and Great Jones Sts. 212) 677-6464

Cheapjack's 841 Broadway (between 13th and 14th streets), (212) 777-9564

The Antique Boutique 712-714 Broadway near 4th Street, (212) 460-8830

The Family Jewels Vintage Clothing 130 West 23rd Street, 212/633-6020

Also, be sure to check the NYC phone book for thrift shops, salvation army stores, and consignment shops!

Sarah, Great list!!
Antique Boutique is my favorite

Andy's Chee-Pees, 691 Broadway

Star Struck 47 Greenwich Avenue (Gr. Vill)

What Comes Around Goes Around, 351 West Broadway, SoHo
This place has great vintage and expensive. Check out original Levis that go for thousands and are snapped up by collectors.

Also check out the outdoor flea market on 26th Street & 6th Avenue on Saturday and Sundays. Bargain with the dealers.
