New York City Trippers

Beacon's closet

02 Feb 2018 by Esther

Second hand shoppers paradise for both men and women. Super popular, good quality stuff and very affordable. No wonder it can get pretty busy at times. We were here on a Sunday afternoon and had to stand in line to get into a dressing room. Daphne scored a great black jacket and a real leather handbag. For 20 dollars each. You gotta have some luck but this is a good place to check out.
