Thrifty is Nifty at Housing Works!
Three things bring me joy: Quality vintage, great sales and supporting charitable organizations. Trifecta in Tribeca just steps away from the office: Housing Works Thrift Shop, “New York City’s beloved chain of upscale charity thrift stores.” I walked into an inviting boutique-like atmosphere where Marvin Gaye serenaded shoppers with a soulful Mercy, Mercy Me and a beautiful [...]
