You can pick up everything here. They sell belts, shoes and even tuxedos. You have to pop in this place often to get the good finds. You also have to dig a lil and definitely try some things on that you normal wouldn't because you would be surprised what some items look like on you instead of on the rack. You also have to keep your eyes open on the color of the price tags. This place marks some clothes down 20% - 50%. They all have different color price tags and they rotate the colors and markdowns depending on how long the items have been there. So keep going back because you could eventually get what you're lookin for with 50% off.
I youre looking for some other kick ass high end thrift stores. You might wanna check out one of Ina's 5 loctations. Ina is also a consignment shop and caters toward both mens and womens designer brands as well. Although is a lil bit more pricey, this store is well known for its "Sex in the City" set wardrobe sales. (all clothes worn in "Sex in the City" episodes) You could probably can score tons some new stuff after the movie comes out so keep you eyes open on this spot.
People waiting in line at Ina all day to get their hands on original "Sex in the City" wardrobe.

Yeah! Ina is right around the corner and the line would wrap around the block. I love Cafe Habana. I actually wrote about it in my blog already. That corn rocks!
One Big Ass Vending Machine! Automat / Bamn!
Cafe Habana is also featured in Lenny Kravitz's music video "Again"
I am gonna have to blog about that place! I have so many in line before that place. But I will definitely get around to that place soon!

Jimmy Choo's beginnings can be traced back to his workshop in London Borough of Hackney, North London, which he opened in 1986 by renting an old hospital building. His craftsmanship and designs were soon noticed and he came to the verge of international notability when Jimmy Choo pumps were featured in a record eight pages in a 1988 issue of Vogue magazine. Patronage from Diana, Princess of Wales from 1990 onwards further boosted his image.

Haha... I would hardly call this place a shopping mall. It's located on the upper east side of Manhattan. Definitely NOT the land of malls. You can definitely finds some gems in this spot if you look. One of the best second hand designers stores that I have been to. All the clothes there are basically like new.
