Reminiscence

Selling [fake] Native American headdresses cheapens the experience of your whole store. why can’t you be a business without carrying items that perpetuate racism? for context, headdresses are not a costume they are held in scared regard by natives. by selling headdresses you are contributing to the appropriation of native culture. I will never shop here again and will encourage my network to boycott.

The selection of items here looked absolutely amazing and possibly the best in the city. It takes literally one person to wipe out any credibility of a competent business. I just walked out of here after getting ELBOWED IN THE FACE by a Hispanic older gentleman that works here. When I yelled excuse me, he literally, I shit you not blamed me for the fact that his ELBOW landed contact with my face. Really? All he had to say was, «My bad» or «didn’t do it on purpose.» A simple «sorry» would be sufficient, yet it was too much for him to digest that his fucking elbow hit me. A terrible hire, amazing selection of fine goods. I hope management hires people in the future with manners because that was straight up rude and seriously, lawsuit material.

This place was like walking into a gold mine for me and unfortunately for my friend he may of been less than amused when I asked him «would you mind if I look around for a minute» Well, the minute turned into an hour almost… SO MUCH TOO LOOK AT and so well organized as well, by year, style etc etc… Had I a larger suitcase I would have brought back so much more to California with me. This place is so fantastic! I love it.
Scored on some fringe poncho’s and butterfly caftan like mini dresses.
Staff is great and the cat though I am allergic was so adorable…

I looooove this store!!! The price is so reasonable. Every time when I visit this store I always get something that I love. Stuffs are super cool here. Must visit if you in this area.

I found the price ridiculously good for the product! Usually vintage styles and customs costs three four times more. Service are super friendly, u can try everything on and they never push u into buying anything. Thumb up and I’ll def be a regular here!

This place is a little pricey but not compared to the area and the selection is amazing! The best place to browse and if you’re a fan of gag gifts, you will definitely want to visit. Amazing costumes, vintage, and funky accessories.

Reminisce, reminisce, reminisce! (in my Mary J voice)
I kind of forgot that this place closed from their 23^rd street spot over a year ago until I stumbled upon their «new» spot this week. I was sooo happy to see they were a little further downtown and pretty close to Union Square!
Unlike Beacon’s, this place is pretty much all real vintage (you won’t see Zara tops or H&M) and pretty affordable. When I shopped here at a college student in my early 20’s I would get ponchos and funny knit dresses (which I still have!), these days I was looking for long vintage dresses and skirts. I must say most of the sizes are pretty small to «average», but a lot of things were either too narrow for my hips or too large. That didn’t stop me from trying on about 5 dresses though. I ended up walking out with a great vintage top from the mid 80’s that I’ve already worn twice and a fun tooled leather belt I really (really!) needed.
They have a good selection of men’s and women’s clothing, shoes, hats and vintage accessories like bags and wallets too. I would suspect this place gets crazy during Halloween, because these pieces are pretty authentic. You won’t really break the bank here, with most items costing about $ 35 – 70. They had great leather jackets for around $ 48, which isn’t bad, considering it’s like having someone shop for you, so it’s worth the extra cost I think.
I“ll be back when I don’t have a backpack full of catfood and textbooks to weigh me down.

This place had great selection of costumes. I found my Chinese dress here in great shape for a great price! I wore it to a Chinese New Year party!

This place is amazing for costumes, off the wall gifts, vintage — their prices are right, but when they have a sale, the savings will make you feel criminal.
Just a quick rundown of what you might find here:
corsets, hoop skirts and crimoline skirts
formal gowns — wedding, prom, medieval, etc
wigs, hats, boas, scarves, horse heads (I know, right?)
military type attire
awful Christmas sweaters
crazy loud outfits
bacon & mustache print bandaids
cute and unique vintage shoes, clothing & accessories
loads of gag gifts & adorable knick knacks — many of which I have never seen anywhere else but want to own them all
I have other stuff to do so I have to cut this review short, but this place is great; my new favorite shop for all things theatrical and whimsical. And their staff is really kind, knowledgeable and helpful. There’s a man that works there named Jewel and he truly lives up to his namesake. Enjoy!

I’d hate to open the flood gates on this one. Especially with Halloween right around the corner because, well, this place is the perfect place to scoop up your costume, if you’re into being unique that is.
The front is adorned with typical stuff you might find in Urban Outfitters; quirky books, inflatable unicorn heads and the oh-​so-​trendy at the moment animal masks but the back is where the real treasure lies.
Lots of vintage and unique shoes, some recycled halloween costumes, lace table cloths and hankies, jewelry etc. Perhaps my fav finds are the vintage wedding dresses, beautiful long flowing dresses in almost perfect condition — vampire bride anyone?
So there ya go, skip Ricky’s go to Reminiscence.
