About Me

The Vortex
222 Montrose Avenue
Brooklyn, NY 11206
(718) 609-6066
We're a diverse thrift store/junk shop located in the cosmopolitan edge of the evolving Bushwick neighborhood of north Brooklyn (in New York City). We're open seven days a week offering a store filled with a spectacular variety of previously owned items, which might be practical, beautiful, ugly or luxurious. Come browse to fulfill your needs, dreams or nightmares. We have lots of classic vinyl lps, interesting books, vintage clothing, offbeat knick knacks, and many collectible items. And plenty of items you never imagined. And two hefty and sociable felines who may greet you, stare at you, or just sleep through the whole thing...
Whether you're in the neighborhood and can come by for an adventure through our vast selection of used goods, or you find something interesting we're offering on ebay (link) , you'll find that we're a friendly and unique portal of artifacts and utensils. And that we provide good service. We hope to hear from you soon!
