Sreaming Mimi's – My friend and I went to NY for a long weenend & came across a great vintage store called "Screaming Mimi's on 382 Lafayette street. The staff welcomed us to the store & immediately explained the lay out of the the merchandise to assist us with our choices. The staff helped us with our shopping & brought us items that they thought we might like & advised with oour decisions. The staff made Daisy & I feel like they knew us forever & made us feel like we were in their home. What a GREAT experience. Loved the s... read more
Chic Vintage Indeed, (for a small price) – I stubbled among this store on a rainy day during the summer. The street its in was wide and dark and I needed some refeege while the un-expected storm died. Walking in, your met by friendly sales people on the right, readily helping you (but not too overbearing) Looking around I loved the selection of clothes they had ( ALL vintage, excluding the jean line they started for their 50 year anniversary.) The clothes were on the pricey side, but if you want nice vintage finds, this is t... read more
Bad and over-priced selection – I found this store with the notion that it was an inexpensive vintage store with a good selection, just as the tour guide book said. The sizes were too big, but it's not like any of the clothes were that great! Not only was the clothing itself ugly and VERY tacky, but the prices were through the roof. I only found one piece I liked: a purple corduroy jumper at an unfair $70. Now, if you think that sounds ugly, than do NOT waste your time here! My only praise for this store is that they have a ... read more
It's Fabulouso! – I love this store! I went there to get a suit and the staff couldn't have been more helpful and attractive. The place is arranged so nicely that it was easy to find what I was looking for. And the girls helped me find a tie and shirt that looked great with my suit. I thought the staff was friendly and very thoughtful. It's just a fun place to shop and I'll certainly be back. It's awesome!
A high-style vintage fun house. – The Scene It's not hard to believe that '80s fashion icon Cyndi Lauper worked here back in the day. Platform sandals and Chloe dresses share space with Members Only jackets and felt fedoras in a retro-fashionista's wonderland. Don't call it a thrift store, however: There will be no digging through boxes of ratty T-shirts and sodden housecoats. Everything is a find, and the refined displays are more Gimbel's than Goodwill. The Goods Even if vintage isn't your everyday look, be sure to stop by... read more
...But is it worth it? – The selection is minor, dwindling to a select era. The prices are quite high, a hat at it's lowest is $50. The shoe variety is quite nice, though, with lots of cute heels. But all in all, unless you're willing to max out your cards, I wouldn't recommend it.
great finds – I disagree with the posters here about the girls who worked at the store. On the contrary, they were most helpful. With their assistance, I bought a beautiful 1950s skirt and and a funky 70s dress. The girls were anything but annoying. Great place to find vintage stuff.
Screaming Mimi's made me want to scream! – I agree with the other reviews. The girls that worked here really kind of put a damper on my experience. And not to mention the ridiculous prices. Things like $35 for and old Wynona Judd T-shirt. Get Real. Visit the store if you like, but I don't think it is your best bet.
Back off... – This store has a pretty dope atmosphere, however, the girls that work there need to back off. They are pushy and shamelessly follow you throughout the store like hawks. The selection is pretty good but nothing to really go crazy about, not even the "vintage designer" section that one employee was sure to point out as she was watching my every move.
