“Got me inside my apartment after being LOCKED OUT FOR HOURS! My super was unresponsive but glad I found these guys. In and out in less than half an hour as well. Will return the favor by recommending them”
“I truly appreciate Remix Market for your generosity with teachers. I was able to pick up a desk chair and a shelves piece for my books. All items seem to be in very good condition. Thank you again.”
“Biggie's is great! The owners are super lovely and run it themselves. Their dog, Biggie, is super cute. Often there's people playing chess outside- it's pretty rad.
Inside is a vintage lovers paradise, or more specifically, a vintage smokers dream. They specialize in refurbishing old lighters, ash trays, and smoking sets. Trust me, they're awesome. If you're not a smoker, they have old magazines, game sets, and old-style soda. If you'd like to become a smoker but are scared, they have candy cigarettes. Sick!
Anyway, I like to pop by whenever I'm in the neighborhood. You should pop in, too.”
“Had a fantastic experience with Stuart at White Trash. Was walking past their store mid COVID, gazed through the window and loved what I saw. Went on their site and inquired about a LeRoy Neiman sketch, within two days Stuart had responded to me, we made the transaction and he delivered to my apartment building in the lower east side.”
“I had followed Salt Lizard on Instagram for quite sometime and finally had the opportunity to visit the store. The owners are incredibly friendly, the store is spacious with abundant natural light, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Unlike typical antique stores, Salt Lizard's curated selection eliminates the digging through dusty junk without having a "Do not touch!" vibe. The prices are within reach, offering a range of fine antiques from furniture to tableware and rugs. A gem for antique enthusiasts!”

1050 2nd Avenue Gallery 3, New York“An amazing array of silverware from various countries and eras. Definitely worth a visit in person (as I did when I was recently in New York) or via their eBay store. Anthony has a wealth of knowledge after many years in the industry.”

I needed help ordering a lampshade for a vintage glass lamp I inherited from my mom. I had no idea where to begin so I reached out through Illume’s website. They gave me guidance in ordering the perfect lampshade! Thank you!”
“Excellent vintage and antique shop; you’d have to enter and explore. Chris’ shop contains phenomenal indigenous artisan jewelry, cultural home decor, and authentic creations overall. Welcoming, and fun atmosphere inside a community thrift shop that has an item for everyone!”
“Coolest guy I ever met! Seriously Vieira gave my 10 yo son free coins to encourage him, and willing to share his knowledge with a little boy. How cool is that! Now my son is more serious in the hobby because of him, and I'd love to go back there and recommend this place to anyone into coin collection!”
“Incredible gem in East village. I came in to get advice on my meditation practice and the owner was very knowledgeable. He spent ample time with me providing deeper insight. They even have a meditation room. Can’t wait to visit.”

“Evan, the owner, helped me find the perfect jewelry for my wedding. I had so much fun in the process and couldn't be happier with what I took home! Don't miss this shop!”
“I have been doing business with them for a couple years, selling coins and gold jewelry. They are knowledgeable, patient and fair. I have lived in the area for several years and a friend recommended them. I would definitely recommend them as well; if you are looking to get cash for coins, gold or silver there pricing is fair and competitive.”
“After finding this store online several years ago, and talking cross-country to Jimmy several times - it was such a joy to come and spend an hour or more looking at and trying multiple pens my husband and I were considering. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly - it felt like an hour spent with friends! We bought several items for ourselves and at least one gift!”
“I purchased some items at auction and due to some unique circumstances on my end I had to pick them up sooner than normally allow. The owner went above and beyond to communicate with me and accommodate my request so that I could receive my purchases in time. I was very pleased with the service as well as with the quality of the purchased items. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from them again!”
“I echo the other reviewers: wonderful store with a unique selection of quality products coupled with personalized customer service. THIS is what NYC should be made of, instead of chase banks and weed shops on every corner. The prices are a bit higher, but it's nothing crazy, and let's please remember that you get what you pay for. And if you want nyc to retain some of its character on at least one little corner in this city, please -- pretty please -- stop over and purchase something from this lovely little shop.”
“Nice stuff to look at but I came in looking for a specific thing and I got it! I was looking for a coffee cup and saucer and I found a nice one and the owner provided useful information for us. I think it was a good price for each set.”
“Nancy is very nice and patient. I ask a lot of questions and she answers all of them thoroughly. Very good store prices are decent. She doesn’t give me a hard time, especially when I’m very particular and picky. My go to spot from now on!”

The furniture, the objects, etc, are all fine quality at a fair price. And they are very nice folks to deal with. I've been stopping by here for years picking up this or that but when we needed a cabinet for our crazy small apt, here is where we found it. they have dressers, small bits, so much. can't say enough good about this place and these proprietors.”

11AM - 6PM
116 E 59th St, New York“This bookstore found me. And every since then it’s been calling me back. I walked in and was met with the smell of the alphabet and maps from every country in the world. I was allowed to peruse the first floor without being pressured and that felt good because walking in can be intimidating.Everyone there was helpful and I was directed to the second floor by means of a turn of the century elevator. Maps on this floor were organized smartly and you must ask for assistance before taking them off the shelf.I would encourage you to check out their website so you have an idea of what you are looking for before arriving. They also have volumes online that may not be in store at the current time but they have access to from their warehouse.”
“This is such a special place! Beautiful assortment of vintage charms and jewelry at different price points. Had so much fun hunting through the store’s selection with friends. A true neighborhood gem!”
“This review is for the online experience only, but have no doubt that the antique and jewelry store is just as wonderful! My boyfriend and I recently purchased my wedding ring from here and am so thrilled I stumbled upon the piece! It was on Pinterest that I first saw a similar ring Russell had created and after doing some digging found Erie Basin's online store. I of course was hesitant purchasing a diamond online having not seen it first, so contacted Russell who took the time to discus my concerns via phone. Once the purchase was made, the resizing took only hours and he shipped it to me overnight. Everything was super smooth and stress less and the ring is exactly what I wanted- vintage, simple, classic. Erie Basin has a customer for life in me!”
