It's on 1 of my list. Each entry below is what I wrote about it there, with my verdict on that list, the fullest first.
Buffalo Exchange is where I go when I want to browse without a plan and still walk out with something great. The setup is clean and organized, and the inventory is always changing. I’ve found leather boots, everyday dresses, designer jeans, and the occasional vintage jacket that looks way more expensive than it is. It’s one of the easiest places in New York to thrift when you’re short on time but still want options.
I also appreciate how easy it is to sell or trade here. The staff is efficient and honest about what they’ll take, and I’ve traded in enough over the years to build an entirely new wardrobe one piece at a time. The prices are somewhere between thrift and resale, which feels fair given the quality and variety. T
here’s a little bit of everything here, and I like that it never feels too polished. If you’re looking for a dependable place to shop secondhand in NYC, Buffalo Exchange is a great bet. It’s approachable, well-stocked, and always worth a visit.
