Sunnyside Thrift Shop

I love the thrift store. I have only been one time so far but I will be going back very soon. I found a lot of great pieces here that I cleaned/​fixed up and put on my website. The owner was awesome and even gave me a $ 10 coupon to come back and shop again. That is a great perk!
Parking is easy and cheap, it’s metered parking.

The Mexican guy that works there is useless! Just a lot of junk not worth it!!!

Amazing amazing amazing that’s all I can say! This store has so many gems and its a thrift shop for near freaks because everything is so nicely organized and you WILL find amazing name brands for literally $ 4 – 5 dollars and they even give you credit when you spend over 25! This place is the holy grail of all thrift stores. Go and I promise you will love it :)

I really enjoy going to this thrift shop. It is a gem waiting to be found. Well organized, and easy to walk around, this shop sells books, DVDs, shoes, furniture, and showcases a wonderful array of women’s clothes. The collection changes almost every week. Browse around and you will find a dress, shirt, or shoes you will really like.
You can buy stuff here that is hard to find in other places.
We like to look at the dresses on the wall. He reserves the best to show off from his collection. I love going clothes shopping here.
During the holidays the staff designs the window space with the holiday theme. It’s almost like a little Bloomingdales in Sunnyside! Fun, welcoming, and never boring everyone needs to visit this store.

Overall, this place is a haven for treasures. I’ve known the manager for years, and he is an amazing guy! Always very friendly and welcoming.
Pros
— Neatly organized
— smells great
— amazing selection of clothing
— book section is great
— good space
Cons
None
Overall, you don’t find many thrift stores that have good space, most thrift shops are so knit tight, where you could barely even move. Will forever go to this thrift shop as long as it’s still in business and I’m in New York City.

I really love going here! The owner is so sweet and helpful! The store is well laid out, new selections all the time, and you can find really nice things! Worth a walk through a couple times a month.
Good prices!

I like this store more than the similar one down on Greenpoint Avenue. This place is a little more organized and cleaner too. I haven’t found anything I really like when I first came here but I can see some potential items that are worthy of purchasing. I wish there were more stores like this in Sunnyside.

This place is great. I always find my wife some really great pieces of clothing. Good condition no damage. Ann Taylor and luxury brands and a couple of cool vintage items. I’m pretty sure he usually displays best stuff on the hangers near the ceilings. We’ll always find at least one thing there.

This place is a disaster. So much clutter and disorganized. Cups mixed with hats and on top a coat. tons of bags full of donations unopened. They need to get it together, almost unhealthy.
To much for a small place. Do not recomend to go, everything looks dirty.

There are two things I really like about this thrift store. The book selection and the music selection. Though sometimes its a hit or miss its always fun to look through their stuff.
The CDs are by far the easiest to look through as they are neatly organized. Then comes the books, lots and lots and lots of books. These are ok to look through but it can get out of hand. Some of them are stuff behind other books which makes them hard to see. And though they have a record section, these are by far the hardest to look through. They’re crammed into a bookcase in the corner and usually in front of other records.
I don’t really pay attention to other things but they do have a large selection of clothes. All in all a good store to dig through, You can’t expect a thrift store to be completely organized but this store is neat enough.

I was really impressed by this place and wish I could’ve spent more time going through the racks. I was only in for pants and dresses and found a ton of options, as well as some surprise shoes. The store is well laid-​out, very open, and neatly organized. The dressing room was also clean and bright, which is a plus. Just wish they had more than one. I was also happy with the prices I saw & they had a great selection of books. The cashier was really friendly as well. Kudos:)

I just went thrift shopping with a few of my friends today in the Sunnyside neighborhood and I must say out of the 3 thrift stores we went to, this was the best. It was a relief to see everything so organized cause we had just been to the really messy Goodwill where we had to dig through the clothes that were dumped into the. carts so yes, it was a real relief to see the clothes all hanged, books all neatly organized, etc. I think the shop is the perfect size; it’s not too big but it’s not too small. Dont you hate it when you go into a really big thrift store and start out all optimistic and as the hours tick by your optimism starts to go down the drain cause you havent found anything? Yup, not a problem here. I was in this store for approximately 10 mins before I found 2 perfect items. A pair of Nike high tops and a lacrosse windbreaker that said State Champs. They were $ 18 and $ 12 respectively. They looked BRAND NEW. I mean $ 12 for a windbreaker that’s not so much of a bargain but it still is cheaper than what you can buy in stores but an $ 18 pair of Nike Sneakers? THAT’S A HUGE BARGAIN. The owner (?) was really nice as well. Not all up in your face like those people in H&M and Forever21 but those kind of people who would gladly help you if you went up to them and asked questions to. He was also very considerate as he asked me if i wanted to divide the shoes and the windbreaker into 2 different bags and he also asked if i wanted a receipt. (I was so happy over my purchases i just completely blanked out) I swear this store just made my day and i’m definitely going back again. :D

Every time I walk past this place I always stop and look at the books on the table they keep outside. I’ve found a few cool and unique books but not a lot. I don’t really look to hard, but it’s nice distraction. I’ve never really looked around in the inside, but when pay for the books it looks a bit crowded and hard to search for anything.
The one interesting weird thing they do have that I don’t think won’t be sold anytime soon is a life size gold bust of Obama. I think some artist donated.

Four stars is relative to other thrift shops the area.
I come in here pretty regularly since I moved to the area but have yet to find anything worth buying, or at least that is my taste.
But it is clean, organized and air conditioned which are all qualities that can all be hard to come by this area.

Sunnyside Thrift Shop is one of Sunnyside’s finest gems. While there are some thrift shops in the area that sell very old and small clothing (shh.), this particular thrift shop remains moderate. You can find stuff from Marc Jacobs, Juicy Couture to Levi’s and American Eagle, very reasonably-​priced as well. It’s also one of the few thrift shops around that sell furniture. And when I say furniture, I don’t mean your air couch, I mean couch sets, dining tables and computer desks.
The only problems I have with this shop is that whenever I actually like something, there’s a flaw to it and most of the women’s shoes are size 41. They have a great DVD and an amazing (and HUGE) book section. The guy behind the register is always nice and helpful so if you’re in the area, don’t hesitate to come!

I’ve learned not to expect much from thrift stores in NYC. Either they have ‘vintage’ aspirations with matching price tags, or they’re depressing hellholes where the best you’ll find if you hunt is a rat’s nest. But Sunnyside Thrift was quite pleasant. It was clean, well lit, fairly spacious, had a dressing room built into the back wall, very nice employees, and a good selection of clothes at reasonable prices. It’s been hit or miss for me, though my favorite find were the bright orange bell bottoms it looked like Marcia Brady must have donated [sadly I had to leave them, they were crazy tiny and my ass is crazy big]. However those kinds of clothes don’t seem to be the norm here — better suited if you’re looking for cheap trousers for work or normal casual wear. So yeah, not a wacky tacky 80s prom dress kinda thrift place… unless those bell bottoms are still there.

A flea market setup it is not. Sunnyside Thrift Shop has a shocking array of everything from clothes to books to full furniture sets. There is a lot of good stuff to be had here, even if it is pre-​owned or second (or fifth) hand.
Some folks might recognize this place as the former Carnicera Las Americas, which it was up until about 6 months ago. Now it’s been converted to a thrift store, which might be the best in Sunnyside. Staff here is friendly and usually pretty knowledgeable with their inventory. Prices here aren’t good will cheap, but it certainly beats paying for an overpriced retail item. In this shoddy economy of ours, it’s amazing this place isn’t flooded with more people (except on the weekends when it’s a zoo).
It’s also not the only thrift store along Greenpoint as Good Buy Thrift Shop (also with a sign that says Sunnyside Thrift Shop) is right across the street. Don’t bother with that joint, this place is light years ahead of it.
