The Best Thrift Store on Long Island must have a visionary staff. Thrift store management is one of those little-considered, ever-complex art-forms – how to attract the awesomest of stuff that other people don’t even want, keep it cheap, and not just end up with stacks of XXXL Michael Jordan jerseys. As a result, you get cowboy boots made from melted down “I LIKE IKE!” pins for four bucks. We bring you this year’s winners for Best Thrift Store on Long Island.
