Hipsters and drag queens will be giddy over the selection at this 27-year-old thrift shop, which is run by sisters Ann Caporusso and Tishie Dooling (who inherited the space from their mother). Admire the window display, which is updated weekly with Caporusso’s newest finds, or browse the interior for grandpa-chic housewares, including a porcelain cookie jar ($40) and a set of novelty salt-and-pepper shakers ($8). Then venture to the back, where you’ll find an abundance of glittery, metallic vintage purses ($8–$60), fur coats (up to $200) and other flamboyant garb ($6–$20).
