Worth it. Buffalo Exchange is where I go when I want to browse without a plan and still walk out with something great.

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.

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.
