Spend less and shop more! Shop the second-hand and consignment shops of New York City for gently worn contemporary clothing and vintage accessories. Join ZTrend as we shop the second-hand and consignment shops of New York City. This shopping day is about fashionable clothing finds at amazing prices with some vintage in between. New York City is one of the most exciting cities in the world where people love to wear beautiful things.

We will meet at Hu's Kitchen, a casual eatery serving grass-fed meats, veggie-oriented and gluten-free dishes (many organic), offering juices, bowls, soups, main entries, and sweet treats (MENU).
