Atlantis Attic

Vintage galore at real vintage prices. I can’t believe i’ve never stopped in here before!
I spent probably half an hour browsing, could’ve taken longer but didn’t have that much time. Scored a vintage 70s floral collared blouse, $ 5. A newer brand blouse for $ 5. A vintage 80s dress with matching belt that is absolutely amazing and im going to hem and wear to death, $ 5.
They had true vintage dresses, tons of em, and I didn’t see a single one over $ 10. If you sew, like I do, consider how you may be able to turn the hem into something more modern, cut sleeves, alter collars. or just wear as is! But seriously. This isn’t your Manhattan vintage store prices. I mean, i saw a 100% silk scarf for $ 3. Wasn’t my style, so I passed, but I hope someone else grabs it!
LOVED everything about it and all my scores. Friendly guys at the register, too.
pro tip: THEY ARE MOVING LOCATIONS. They have a big sign out front that on ⁹⁄₂₀ they are moving locations to Dekalb avenue. Works for me, I live off the Dekalb stop! but just a heads up for anyone looking to stop by.
This place is dirt cheap for NYC but has an amazing selection. DO it.

Honestly all the shops part of the «L Train vintage» are really reasonably priced and how great gems. Once you’re there you can pick up a flyer that shows you all the stores or just google said quotes above.
I used to live around the corner and loved this place dearly. They always has cute vintage dresses that fit like a glove for $ 5 and other assortments of goodies. They also have a pretty equal male to female clothing section.
Basically, it’s a real thrift store with real thrift price, not new or designer stuff but really beautiful finds. Always worth the stop.

I would tell you that this place has a varied selection, that it’s not really a schmancy vintage store and more like a working person’s vintage store, that the prices tend to skew not much higher than thrift store prices, and yet that the percentage of really cool-​looking old designs and prints v. just kinda drab fare crushes like a BUG that of the thrift stores I grew up with. Unfortunately, per the Hipster Scum Accord, which I signed in 2006, I’m afraid I can’t tell you about any of that stuff, because as soon as people find out it’s all going to go to s – t.

I wish we had places like this at home — this place is AWESOME! There are some really good finds here!
+ $ 5 brand name shirts
+ Almost EVERYTHING is between $ 5-​$ 7
It seems overwhelming because it’s a big store, but it’s organized pretty well so you find yourself navigating through it pretty easily.
The have military surplus gear, flannels, funky sweaters, jackets, boots (lots of boots) and purses. Get ready to dig through some fun stuff!

This place is awesome! Got a shirt with the tag still on it saying $ 1300 for $ 5. You have to dig through some stuff but it’s a great place to find a cool piece you couldn’t find anywhere else. I’ll definitely be back!

Was overwhelming at first, walking in and picking through the selection they had. Lots of flannels, weird sweaters, funky leather jackets and military surplus gear. Didn’t find much, but I found a Bill Blass shirt for 5 bucks that’ll go great with a sweater or just jeans and topsiders. Too bad I couldn’t get the Pendleton jacket that I saw, I got beaten to it by a old hippie who gave me quite a strange glare.

As one of my birthday surprises– my boyfriend took me here to look through the racks for some steals. He had just recently found out about my secret thrill of roving around thrift stores (the real ones, not the so-​called vintage shops that overcharge) and buying knickknacks and whatnot. Came across this really kitschy fur coat that made me look like a mob wife for a mere $ 30. Ha! Done deal.
The place has a bunch of ugly holiday sweaters that I was sad to peruse through because I would have won the Annual Ugly Sweater contest at my company holiday party last December if I had bought mine here. Other stuff for sale include a whole lot of leather jackets, some cool soviet-​inspired fur hats, and really retro dresses.
Good way to pass time during a weekend afternoon.

Great, wacky place.
Too many «thrift shops» nowadays are full of designer stuff/​stuff in good condition that’s being sold at almost full retail. Even the «good deals» put you back pretty far.
NOT HERE.
I only stopped in for a little while but scored this fun crew neck sweatshirt with crochet ducks marching across the chest. It was $ 5 and I’ve gotten numerous compliments.
Everywhere I go I ask «do you like my duck sweatshirt?»
Atlantis Attic will make you obsessed like that.

To me, not a great store. If you’re looking for a true «thrift store” — this is not it. If you’re looking for «vintage” — eh, maybe.
Here’s what this store has: lots of jeans for men and women. Not necessarily vintage.
Lots of 70s looking tops for men and women.
Lots of American Eagle zip up sweatshirts.
Nice amount of vintage coats and jackets, fake and real fur, leather, etc. Very good prices. $ 20 for a cropped faux fur flawless 80s jacket with zipper. That might be a higher-​priced item, too.
Some 70s skirts.
Belts. Bags. Shoes.
Really, I was disappointed. If I’m thinking «vintage,» I want cute dresses. Not so much here. I was looking for shorts– there seemed to be none at all. A few 2011 tank tops. It’s an odd mix of maybe 20% kind of worn-​out, very recent cheapish clothes, and 80% 70s 80s stuff, but really heavy on jeans and shirts, not too much else.
I would say a grungy look can be found here, either 70s or 2009-​or-​theresabouts. Not my cup o tea.

There was a great selection of men’s and women’s clothing in many different styles. Prices were much better than I expected — probably the lowest I’ve seen for such quality clothes at any thrift shop. I got 4 name brand pieces in like new condition for $ 20. It was very well organized as well, with a lot of varying sizes.
The only thing I thought was odd was that there were no mirrors in the dressing rooms and the closest ones were several aisles away from the rooms. Since there are no returns here, that would be the only thing about this thrift store I would change.

Oh. My. Damn.
Came in here with a fellow Unilocaler just to «see what was up».
Well, people with a shopping addiction beware! What stopped me from trying on a majority of clothing was the polyester. I can’t wear synthetics. I mean, the item has to be amazing for me to battle the plastic rubbing on my body all day. That being said I found some really, really great pieces. Two skirts, both at $ 5 each (!!!) and a great lace-​y top for $ 5.
This place is great for people who like to alter their clothes somewhat. Nothing is perfect and a lot of clothes that looked like gems had stains on them, but if you can sew, you can make it work somehow. A fun selection of boots and bags too. I found a handmade leather duffle bag from Morocco for just $ 15, but do I need another bag? No. No I don’t. I’ll be back here when I need another rush.

Atlantis Attic seems to be hit-​or-​miss rather than well-​curated, but that’s true for thrift stores in general. On my most recent visit it was not as dirty-​feeling as it has been in the past and not musty-​smelling at all. With lots of time to spend and my measuring tape in hand, I found many useful items this time. The highlights were two great jackets for my 2X-​sized son – a brand-​new $ 20 wool pea jacket and an excellently styled $ 15 faux-​leather jacket, both with quilted linings.

Literally said to myself «man, I hope I find some all black high-​top converse at Atlantis Attic today.»
And I did. In my size. In perfect condition.
The universe was in my favor that day.
This store is exactly what thrift stores should be like.
Perfect for those wardrobe staples that everyone needs ($ 10 jean jackets, $ 7 flannels, $ 15 boots)
Finally a second hand store in Williamsburg that won’t charge $ 65 for an old band t-​shirt.

This has got to be the best thrift store I’ve ever been to in nyc, williamsburg bullshit included.
The prices usually are $ 5 or $ 7 and the store is huge! So many racks of awesomeness! I wish I had 3 hours to go through and find more stuff. I will be back!

It’s pretty huge but not a lot of «dress up» stuff for men. Merchandise is much more attuned to the casual, blue collar, urban lumberjacks of Billyburg.

This place is probably one of the BEST Vintage Shops that I have ever been to. Usually there isn’t really a good selection of Men’s clothing, but here it’s ridiculous. They have TONS of mens clothing here all sorted out by kind. They have a section for leather jackets, puffy jackets, track jackets and knit sweaters. It’s not organized by size, but you will definitely see something you like.
The selection of plaid shirts is mind boggling. I honestly have never seen so many in one place. This place is definitely worth the trek out into Williamsburg.

Thrifting is my new term especially since I went to all their local chain stores around Brooklyn and Manhattan.
There are endless amounts of vintage t-​shirts, and leather coats to be found here. The sales people are not that personable but thats okay.
I bought two black biker leather jackets for under $ 40 dollars each! Never had that many compliments on them in my life. If I shopped anywhere else I would have paid over $ 200!

I have never liked a thrift store like I love this place. Everything is incredible, you will find the most unique and incredible things here. Anything I ever imagine I can almost always find somewhere in the Atlantis Attic.
Constantly updated with new clothes and new goods, huge selection of T’s, jackets, shoes, etc and nothing over $ 30. It’s dangerous how much money you will spend here… but you’ll go home with your arms completely filled. Very friendly staff too.

Good
Pricing
And lots of
Stock but I found
Far too many clothes with stains for four stars.

5 words for this place.
Never ceased to fail me.
Walked away with a cream striped blazer, paisley printed dress and a green blouse dress. Total? 25 clams, yess sir. Twenty — five clams.
I’m most likely going to alter it though, but still none the less, good stuff. I’m so sticking to this place whenever I need a good thrift fix!
