The Antiques Garage In Chelsea
Even if you’re not in the market for a vintage victrola, you must, must, MUST carve out an hour during your weekend to visit The Antiques Garage in Chelsea. Living in the city seven years, I’m a bit embarrassed SHAMED to admit that this was my first time to the Garage, but let it be known, it will most certainly not be my last! Every weekend, 100+ vendors gather in the parking garage, selling everything from vintage postcards to antique cameras to your great-grandmother’s wedding dress. Let’s just say, there’s no shortage of stuff to further clutter up your apartment.
The Antiques Garage
My favorite part was checking out the clothing. I particularly loved this bold colored accordion style dress, circa 1960′s, being sold by an eccentric redhead with a zest for time-honored threads. While I couldn’t justify shelling out the $85 the frock was going for, I surely hope someone else gets the chance to saunter in it poolside this summer, Cosmo in hand, stilettos on feet, shades covering face, doing a stunning impression of Megan Draper from Mad Men.

This is, hands down, my fave Antique market. People are so cool and nice, and I even made friends from here.

Haha, thanks! They had clothes dating back to the 20′s, but this was our favorite!;-)
Looks like the thrift store shoppers dream! A very cool find!
It really is! Barring the weather isn’t sweltering hot (like it was the day I went!), you could literally spend hours in this place!
