The Antiques Garage / Chelsea

I regularly explore The Antiques Garage in the Manhattan neighborhood of Chelsea. Since 1994, around 1o0 vendors set up shop each and every weekend in a 2-level parking garage on 25th Street just west of 6th Avenue. We discovered a nice variety of items that would suit anyone's taste, from a large selection of vintage jewelry and clothing, to old school tools and antique furniture. If you make the trip to Chelsea and want to explore more, there are many antique stores in the area; but the real bargains are to be found at the Antiques Garage, as well as the outdoor flea market a block away on 25th Street between 5th and 6th Avenues. The Garage opens at the crack of dawn and closes around 5:00 PM. Get there early... The good stuff goes quick!
