There is a thrift store on 26th Street & 10th Avenue called City Opera.

Somehow I’ve walked by a thrift store called City Opera on 26th Street & 10th Avenue a thousand times and never noticed it. Well I noticed it last weekend, and can now confirm that it is a thrift store with furniture, paintings, home accessories, vintage clothes, jewelry, etc. You can see the website here: City Opera Thrift Shop (note the “Shop Online” page if you want to see what they have) and the Yelp page here: CITY OPERA THRIFT SHOP.

I don’t pretend to be a thrifter, but this strikes me as a very nice, high-end thrift shop with items that look essentially brand new. And as a bonus, profits are used to support the New York City Opera. You should probably check it out.

Side note: The New York City Opera is currently putting on some “Picnic Performances” in Bryant Park: Home - New York City Opera (nycopera.com). Very cool.
