Grand Bazaar NYC is the city's feel-good market — every dollar of profit goes to four local public schools — and its themed vintage weekends draw the best secondhand sellers in one place. A fall edition means racks of leather jackets, sweaters, denim and decades-spanning accessories right as the weather turns, at prices well below Brooklyn's hyped vintage shops. Go early for first pick, then walk one block to the Museum of Natural History to round out the morning.
What to expect
Expect several dozen vendor stalls indoors and out along 77th Street, ranging from true vintage clothing to antiques, records and handmade goods. Serious hunters arrive at opening; browsing stays comfortable through early afternoon before peak crowds.
