How to go thrifting in NYC

This article posted at Refinery29 is a slideshow full of thrift store shopping tips.

So, when you go vintage shopping, make sure you bring hand wipes and check clothes for bed bugs. :(

I think the best tip is to really know yourself and your wardrobe:
Do you already have something that serves the same purpose?
Are you the type of person who actually goes to get things fixed/tailored/dry cleaned? If not, leave it in the store.
