Goodwill (W 25th)
103 W 25th St, New York, NY 10001, (646) 638-1725
Welcome to the 25th Street Goodwill – your standard thrift stop. It’s not the biggest place, and the ladies’ section dominates the scene, taking up about 80% of the floor. Gentlemen, you might find your options a tad limited.
Now, when it comes to labeling, it’s a bit of a maze. Clothes play hide and seek with accurate tags – genders get swapped, and clothing types take on a cryptic language of their own.
Staffing is on the minimalist side – one trooper at the cash register and another playing thrift guardian. Fitting room? You’ve got one, and a couple of mirrors for those on-the-spot fashion decisions.
Dive into the selection, and it’s a mixed bag. All sorts of clothes are in the mix, but don’t expect top-notch quality. Sizes and colors might throw you a curveball, but there’s a surprise element – big-name brands like North Face and Patagonia make a cameo. Brace yourself for a slight dent in your wallet, though.
Heading to the shoe corner, it’s a rack-filled spectacle. But before you break into a victory dance, it’s mainly a sea of women’s heels. Stiletto enthusiasts, rejoice.
In a nutshell, it’s your typical Goodwill – a quick browse without grand expectations. It’s that reliable friend who won’t dazzle you but is always there. I’d slap a 4/10 on the rating scale – a decent thrift spot with a few quirks.
