Grant Street Local (Williamsburg)

154 Grand St, Brooklyn, NY 11249

Grand Street Local stands out in Williamsburg for its curated selection of high-end vintage pieces. The store, though small, is immaculately organized and showcases items in great to pristine condition. It’s a bit of a leap from the usual thrift spots I cover, mainly due to its pricing and the quality of its collection.

Here, vintage shopping comes at a premium. You might find Wrangler jeans for $120 or Carhartt jackets for $180. Even a Champion sweatshirt can set you back about $75, and a t-shirt might go for as much as $380. It’s clear that while the prices are steep, they reflect the rarity and condition of the vintage items, especially if you’re eyeing something trendy and name-brand.

The store caters mostly to men, with a lot of the selection also fitting a unisex style. From shirts to jackets, the choices are geared towards those looking for exceptional, rare finds rather than everyday wear.

What really enhances the experience at Grand Street Local is not just the products but also the vibe. The staff are knowledgeable, and the background music adds to the shop’s cool factor, making it a pleasant place to explore.

Overall, I’d give Grand Street Local a 9 out of 10 for anyone seeking high-end vintage men’s wear. It’s pricey, but for those in the market for unique pieces and willing to invest, it’s definitely worth a visit. The staff’s friendliness and willingness to negotiate, especially on multiple items, also make it a more approachable high-end shopping experience. If you’re in NYC and looking for top-notch vintage, this spot is a must-visit.

Ebreo Vintage in Brooklyn focuses on Italian menswear from the 90s, offering a specific range of dressy options such as suits, blazers, shirts, and coats. The store itself has a minimalist setup that feels almost temporary but effectively showcases the high-end pieces. There’s ample space to try on jackets right in the aisle, and a fitting room and several mirrors are available for convenience.

If you’re searching for quality, previously-owned designer garments, Ebreo Vintage delivers. You’ll find well-known brands like Armani, with long wool and cashmere coats priced around $400, and sports coats fetching high hundreds. Prices are fair, especially given the excellent condition of the apparel.

The selection here is strictly upscale menswear—don’t expect to find casual wear like hoodies, jeans, or t-shirts. Shoes and some shirts are also on offer, though the shoes may show more wear than other items.

The staff at Ebreo Vintage is helpful and knowledgeable, assisting shoppers without being overbearing, which complements the shopping experience.

I’d give Ebreo Vintage a 9 out of 10 for its focused selection of sophisticated 90s Italian menswear and the pleasant shopping environment. It’s ideal for anyone looking to add some vintage Italian elegance to their wardrobe.
