I recently spent four days in NYC with a large, multi-generational group of family members. In the mix of typical NYC activities for visitors, this tour stood out as a memorable, something different/something special experience for two of the college-aged girls, one an experienced vintage shopper and the other a novice. They both found and purchased things that they have since received many compliments on. I expected the tour to be enjoyable for me but not really "my thing," but the experience really opened my eyes: I found it very interesting and fun, much more so than shopping all the usual stores, all the usual merchandise. Our tour group included an NYC resident, who I envy because she can go back to these places any time!
Suzanne's tour was well-planned, stopping at a variety of thrift/vintage shops (who knew there was so much variety in thrift shops?) in an easily walkable area. When we mentioned we hadn't had breakfast, Suzanne pointed out Tal Bagels, where we had a great bagel with the loxiest of lox spreads. Heaven. (We caught up with the group at the next shop.)
We also appreciated the "insider's list" Suzanne gave us of additional unique and interesting shops in the city, as well as a list, map, and description of her favorite places to go for certain foods/food experiences in the city.
