Best Vintage shopping in MYC
We had a great shopping experience with Suzanne of ZTrend New York. She worked super hard to find us some great deals for our styles. We had a great time hunting for treasure in vintage, thrift, amd second had shops.

It was so much fun hunting for treasures with you and finding those perfect pieces that matched your styles. Thanks again for the kind words — it means a lot. Hope our paths cross again soon for more vintage adventures!

Teen shopping spree
Had a great time! Suzanne was very attentive to my girls and was flexible to whatever we’d like to do and took her time with us. With 4 teen girls, not an easy task! N
Response from the operator: Thank you so much!! Honestly, your four girls were an absolute joy – polite, fun, and with the BEST taste 😂 I had just as much fun as they did! Huge thank you for trusting me with your crew. Already looking forward to the next thrift adventure together! 🖤

Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review, n_h! 🛍️ I’m happy to know the birthday girls enjoyed their thrift shopping treat in New York City. Such a sweet treat to do with the girls. I had a fabulous time with them as well — both are so polite and sweet. It was fun. You all made my day special too ☺️

Fabulous Teen Experience
My daughter and I had the best time touring the city with our shopping guide, Suzanne! I would recommend this tour for anyone that lives shopping, but particularly a thrift-crazy teen!
Response from the operator: Your daughter was fun. I had a great time with both of you. I apologize for leaving late feedback. I hope to shop with you again.

Private Teen + Young Adult Second-Hand Shopping in New York City: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New York.
How much does Private Teen + Young Adult Second-Hand Shopping in New York City cost?
+
Prices start at $98 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in New York usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Teen + Young Adult Second-Hand Shopping in New York City take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in New York is not rushed.
Is Private Teen + Young Adult Second-Hand Shopping in New York City worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 30 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in New York, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Teen + Young Adult Second-Hand Shopping in New York City?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Private Teen + Young Adult Second-Hand Shopping in New York City suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Teen + Young Adult Second-Hand Shopping in New York City?
+
Around 11 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in New York can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in New York and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Teen + Young Adult Second-Hand Shopping in New York City start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central New York within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in New York?
+
New York has more bookable experiences than any other city on Outty, and the quality spread is brutal. Observation decks are commoditised, so we score them on timed-entry reliability and sunset slots. Food tours and borough walks are where the ranking really separates operators, and the top scores in the city all come from small-group guides. On Outty we rank every New York experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include NYC Bus Tour of Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens: Art, Food & Sports, Half-Day Bus Tour of NYC Top Highlights, SoHo, Little Italy, and Chinatown Walking Tour in New York. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit New York?
+
September to early November, and late April through June. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in New York?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
