A charmingly crafted cocktail is always a great accessory, but sometimes, the occasion calls for some effort on your part as well. Between the French Spirits Soiree, the Bootlegger Vodka Cotton Club, and the upcoming Manhattan Cocktail Classic, you may be on the lookout for some swingin' new threads. You can find a bevy of glamorous vintage items on eBay, Etsy (as pictured) or even Craigslist, but if you have the time, there's nothing quite like picking through NYC's second-hand racks. Here are some local go-to vintage shops:
- Beacon's Closet (88 N. 11th St. or 92 5th Ave., Brooklyn)
- Buffalo Exchange (114 W. 26th St., 332 E. 11th St., or in Brooklyn, 504 Driggs Ave.)
