At Beacon's, which has three other locations in Brooklyn, you'll find a good selection of gently used clothing of a decidedly downtown/Brooklyn hipster aesthetic. Thrift shops are thin on the ground in this area, which makes this even more of a draw. Come midweek or be prepared to brave the crowds.
