It's tourist-slop places like this that have absolutely destroyed thrifting; this is not for locals…read moreor regular people. Why are they selling 50-cent books for $15? A VHS tape for $100? These are the people who are buying these from tag sales and flea markets, out from under YOU who would actually appreciate them... and they're trying to re-sell them to you at 50x a sensible price. They think you're stupid and lazy; those are the only people who would pay the prices here. Middlemen need to be eliminated from the equation, and this is the worst of it. They provide nothing but a hindrance between you and what you enjoy, and cope by pretending they're offering a service. Absolutely not worth the time if you're looking for something affordable, and if you're paying $50 for a book you can get at the library for a quarter and actually support your community... good luck, have fun, you're a dope. Again, these are the places that destroy communities and affordable hobbies. No support given.

a few months ago, while booking our air b&b I googled "what to do in Phoenicia" and the Mystery…read moreSpot was the first thing to come up. Now ive done a bit of traveling and sometimes a place that looks great can be kinda gimmicky, so this was my fear with this location, BUT now that I have been I can promise Mystery Spot was easily my favorite part of our trip. The owner was there, she was funny and kind and very knowledgeable! Another highlight was a shock, the layout! it was so easy to walk through and get lost in each room, everything was organized and easy to look through. I can't say enough how much that helped, I hate feeling like a bull in a china shop so feeling comfortable walking around was a big factor for me. My partner and I purchased our first antique and have our eye on our next purchase here, giving us an excuse to come back to the beautiful little paradise that is Phoenicia. Thank you Mystery Spot! You all helped make our holiday extra special. Hope to see you soon!

Behind the glass, faded photos of dead and forgotten strangers stared back at me like ghosts waiting for a train that's never coming. I was inside just the last week, they had lots of cool vintage stuff. ​On the porch sat a wooden crate full of old vinyl records labeled "YARD SALE IN A BOX. $1 AN ITEM." A Camelot soundtrack album was sticking out, warped slightly by the sun. Over head hung a red upside-down sign that read "MYSTERY SPOT," right next to cheap plastic slogans about Cypress Gardens and Clutter World. My big, lean hound stood on the porch planks, sniffing around the wood like he was trying to catch the scent of a better decade, or just trying to get inside. ​It's the kind of joint that hoards the cool junk of a thousand lives vintage clothes, oddities, records, etcetera. Its the kind of place where they don't care if you buy anything, or just browse and they probably don't care if you leave. My dog didn't bark, the door didn't open, and the sun just kept beating down on the boardwalk planks, so we just sat for a bit and split a sandwich.

Located in Kingston, we always make our way to Zaborski before venturing further up to Woodstock to get that one in a trillion piece for my home. Reasonably priced is not. Prices here reflect the quality and are high- so be ready. Plus with a place this old and unique, there's less chance someone else will turn up with the same purchase. Drawbacks? It takes dedication and a good eye to go through the many, many, many narrow dusty aisles. By the way- this isn't thrift where a lamp will run at $10 and nor will you find your grandma's doily collection here. Think weird. Think crazy. Zaborski has a bit of everything- from tables, wooden chairs, Disco balls, stools, ornaments, to clocks- the rarer the better. To me, antiques add character, contrast and that aesthetic 'umph' personality I love for my home. And if antiques are your thing, this place is definitely enticing.

Opening its doors a couple of years ago in what used to be a mechanic shop (of some kind I think), prices are "thrift"! Not far from the Woodstock line on Rt 212 in Saugerties, Ray's Retro has heaps of 50s, 60s, 70s vintage clothes, bags and jewelry, etc- plus you're guaranteed to find the perfect vintage piece with your name on it! My daughter says I like wearing "loud" things. While I don't disagree, I love adding just a piece that pops to my minimalist look and Rayann's met me there. From the Gong bell entrance to what's inside, every corner here has something for you...that's of course- if you're into this kinda thing. And in the words of one of my favorite artists, "I'm gonna pop some tags. Only got twenty dollars in my pocket. I'm, I'm, I'm hunting, lookin for a come-up- This is f*cking awesome".

Their 2nd fl., is similar with more furniture pieces. I actually found interesting decor pieces than anything. The owner and her family had a sale going on during the Thanksgiving weekend where you bought a regular priced item and got the other for 1/2 off. Best of all, the owner was willing to offer me a bargain on an item I was eyeing. This is a treasure trove and might probably leave with something. Remember, it's only CA$H, and Venmo(?).

Arguably the best little place to scour unusual and not-so-unusual items. This weekend-only (Sat & Sun.) isn't the place where you'll find racks upon racks of couture clothing- but, you may just walk past a spot and find something that catches your eye. In any case, when you find it, take the time to really check the condition and ask the owner, Katherine questions on its history. Prices are almost dirt-cheap- but do bring cash and not your card.

It's set up so a large number of different vendors rent space and set up their area themselves and set their own prices. The system means that you can find a huge variety of stuff... it's the sort of place I love browsing through most. It's also a large space, with multiple rooms. I ended up dropping $100 that I hadn't meant to spend - but I also feel that it was half the price I'd have paid elsewhere for a similar item, so I'm quite delighted. (Note, however, that they don't take AmEx, and they're apparently not willing to cut you a break on the prices (or even the tax) if you pay cash. There's a similar place just two doors down called the Millbrook Antiques Mall. I didn't have time to browse there... but if you're not on a schedule, you definitely want to check out both!
