About This Store
L Train Vintage in Bushwick, Brooklyn is one of the largest thrift and vintage stores you'll ever step foot in. Customers describe the space as seriously huge — an endless maze of clothing spanning every category imaginable. The store is especially known for its massive military surplus section packed with army and surplus pieces, alongside a constantly rotating selection of vintage, designer, and Y2K-era clothing. Prices are generally very reasonable, with reviews highlighting that items that look like they'd cost $30–80 often go for just $10–25. A pair of jeans and a 2000s zip-up hoodie can be scored for around $23, and lucky shoppers have found coats originally worth hundreds for as little as $25. The vibe is laid-back and spacious — roomy enough to browse without feeling cramped or rushed. The inventory turns over quickly, with daily restocks keeping the selection fresh for dedicated treasure hunters. While the staff can be hit or miss — some find them friendly and easygoing, others a bit brusque — the sheer volume, variety, and quality of the merchandise makes this a must-visit for anyone who loves thrifting in New York City.
