Steinway Thrift (Astoria)
32-36 Steinway St, Astoria, NY 11103
Steinway Thrift Shop, nestled in Astoria, offers a unique variety of items, making it a worthwhile stop for thrifty shoppers. This shop carries various clothing items, from everyday basics like jeans and T-shirts to suits and more specialized items. The store is primarily filled with mass-market brands like Gap, New Balance, Nike, Lands’ End, and Brooks Brothers.
Despite its strengths, Steinway Thrift’s prices are slightly higher than you might expect for a thrift store. This might make you think twice, especially if you’re used to lower thrift store prices. The store is laid out with a main floor dedicated to clothing and jewelry, while the basement offers books, black records, and coats—each section neatly arranged, making it easy to browse through.
What truly sets Steinway Thrift apart is its occasional rare finds. Imagine stumbling upon a pair of Made in USA Levi’s 511 jeans, crafted from the now-defunct Cone Mills’ White Oak fabric, priced at just $14—a true gem for denim enthusiasts. This element of surprise and possibility is what makes a visit to Steinway Thrift so exciting.
The store isn’t just about clothing; it has a decent selection of accessories, shoes, and housewares. Although the shop doesn’t provide fitting rooms and has only a few small mirrors, the layout is open.
Overall, while Steinway Thrift may not be the cheapest option around, it’s definitely a worthwhile visit if you’re in the area. With its variety and the chance to find both everyday wear and unique items, a trip to Steinway Thrift is a decision you won’t regret. I would confidently rate Steinway Thrift a 6/10.
