It's got everything…read more If you have to quickly put together a gift, there are balloons, grab a gift bag, some tissue paper, and then the gift. I'm sure you'll find something. They've got housewares, tools, baby items, an extensive cleaning section. They even have 5-gallon tubs of Tide for $35! If you have the room that's a good value. The best part is that they carry my favorite Avon roll-on deodorant. It was pulled from most other stores for some reason so I'm very glad to see it. The only negative is that they close when they want to, so be sure to get there before 7 pm just to be safe.

This is a massive outlet store spanning over three floors. Most of the store is filled with apparel…read moreitems for men and women. In the lower floor, are the men's products and clearance sections. Main floor has home goods, sunglasses, watches, purses in limited quantity, also lots of women's apparels. Second floor has dresses and shoes. The store was mostly tidy. Walking thru the cramped aisles was little tough. There were only two fitting rooms from what I heard the staff saying . The Clearance sections had sale items up to 80%. I liked a $49 Scotch & Soda t-shirt tagged for only $7. The deal made my day. Checkout process was quick. I got to use my Bloomingdale's cash rewards for the purchase. Overall it was a nice store and seemed to be popular among the city locals.

Many racks and sections for men's women's clothings, bags, accessories etc. 3-4 fitting rooms for women. They definitely need more fitting rooms. The staff were very nice. I couldn't find my size so the staff took it off the mannequin for me. She did mention it was a popular sell and whatever they have left were all on display. Also the fitting room staff was patient and friendly. She gave advice to other customers as well. Great price value in this store. All the items have some sort of discount. But when it's on the sale rack, usually it's the largest size available.

At Duane Reade cortisone cream will cost you 4 bucks. Here it's $1.29. A 6 pack of sponges is $1.99 vs. Gristedes where it's $6. Open 9am-9pm, you can get toiletries,cleaning supplies, housewares, food staples,candy, batteries, stationery, first aid supplies, small tools and hardware, gloves, hats, t-shirts, balloons and seasonal items (Christmas decorations, Halloween supplies, etc.) We have a number of tourist hotels nearby and folks find the items they forgot to bring without breaking the bank. We locals who appreciate the value, convenience and personal connection shop here, too. We're fortunate to have a number of these independently-run small discount stores in this neighborhood and each one has something to offer. For certain you won't be stuck in a 15 minute check out line at the local chain drug store. Check this place out. (They also have a lovely cat.)

I found a medium-sized padded envelope and a pack of small safety pins. Pretty random, but since they still carried it, it shows that they do have a fairly comprehensive selection.

Granted it's quite a limited selection, but it's much cheaper than Duane Reade or CVS; I got some 409 Bathroom Cleaner for $2.50...it was $5.99 at Duane Reade.

But when things are normal, the lighting is excellent, the clothes are well organized and the staff is always, and I repeat, always polite and friendly. They are business people and this is their business and customers need to understand that. As with any business based on donations, you can find wonderful things at very reasonable prices or you can find nothing at all to your liking. But that is why Unique Boutique -- and each item is unique -- is so much fun. A note -- someone reviewed it saying "I called to ask about furniture and the guy said no and hung up the phone..." This is what I mean about customers not understanding retail...you asked a question, he answered it and why should he stay on the phone with you ? There is no way this store has the space to accommodate furniture and once that is clear, there is nothing more to say, so salespeople hang up. If you would like them to apologize for not taking or selling something impossible, that is what you expect culturally, but other people do not think that is necessary in what is not a personal relationship. You asked a question, you got an answer, good bye, move on.

I wasn't sure if this was a thrift store at first, or a discount store. It is very similar to Job Lot. Everything's here. They have clothes, snacks, makeup, books, home supplies etc. but no neckties. This store is pretty messy, and very random with its inventory, but the prices are very low. I had to walk around for a while to find someone to ask about their merchandise.
