Anytime I’m over by 17th and 6th, I’ll head to my two favorite thrift stores: Housing Works and Angel Street Thrift Shop. Over the past 8 years,  I’ve found two mid-century tables that I bought for about $40 each and restored, an English touring bike, vintage cameras, and flatware. This past visit, I was particularly shocked by the quality of two pieces of furniture at Angel St.:

Solid oak, gentleman’s armoire made in England. $2000.
Still a lot of $, but this would easily retail for $ 5,000 and a regular store in the city.
Plus, they lower prices at end of week.

Pretty amazing interior with enamel signs.

Mid-Century Desk, maple and walnut. $1,100 with light blue interior.

Another good part of shopping here–the money goes to programs for New Yorkers with substance abuse, mental illness, and HIV/AIDS.
