Think you've seen everything NYC has to offer? Think again!! Recently I took my 2nd walking thrift tour in NYC with the sparkling Sammy Davis, because one just isn't enough! Sammy, who feels like family from the word "hello", will show you the city in a fun, relatable, unique way as you follow her from shop to shop on your treasure hunt. Whether you are a "thrift addict" (like me) or a novice trying it for the first time, you are in the best hands with Sammy guiding you. She makes NYC feel like a friend, makes everyone feel welcome and comfortable, and somehow gives each person on her tour individual attention. We are from Texas, and we try to get up to NYC a couple of times each year, for Broadway and so many of the wonderful things people love about New York. "We" means me and my young adult sons, who love Sammy and her tour as much as I do, and who scored cool clothing they love with her help. Now that we found Sammy, she and her tour will always be on our itinerary. Her warmth and genuine, joyful spirit will inspire you for some time to come after you tour with her, I promise you!Sunmar7

Energetic, patient, knowledgeable, and fabulous! Sammy is everything that you want in a thrift tour host and so much more! I was nervous to take on the city that never sleeps for my first trip for my birthday, but Sammy made it so easy for our group! Clearly passionate about the city and her craft, Sammy does not simply drag you from store to store - she makes sure to talk to you and help you find your thrift Holy grail! Be sure to bring PLENTY of suitcases to fill with your finds and comfy shoes (my biggest mistakes - I actually had to buy a whole new suitcase lol) - also be sure to cop a Thrift Babe tote bag and just have fun!DeirdreSlaughter

OMG 😮. This tour was exactly what I needed to help get over the anxiety of traveling solo to the Big Apple 🍎 alone for the first time ever. It was more than I anticipated yet something I will ever forget. Sammy was helpful with selecting two of my favorite coats I have in my closet. She also made sure I left with a vintage piece. The tour was very detailed and planned out down to the text to make sure I made it to the meet up location. Sammy was very genuine and down to earth as she openly shared things about her city and her journey in the fashion world. This tour was a jewel and Sammy is a humble giant. This Thrift Tour was Off The Grid but will forever stay on my mind. ❤️ashton365

Thrifting in the city brings a whole new level of excitement and fun!! You truly never know what you'll stumble upon and Sammy makes this journey more than memorable. She offers style advice, moral support, and endless enthusiasm as you dig for treasures. My mom and I went on the tour together and walked away with a large bag full of designer, quality pieces. Each shop has been meaningfully curated to provide a unique experience!! Honestly couldn't say one shop was better than another. I walked away with a whole new outlook on my wardrobe and game plan to find pieces that I love. Sammy relit my passion for thrifting!!! I cannot wait until I can get back to NYC! *TIP* Bring a reusable bag to carry your finds.Lise C

As a first time thrifter, I was excited to do this in my fav city in the world! Sammy is an amazing host. She knows all the secret hot spots and helps you find the right clothes to match your style, no matter what shape or size. When I took this trip, there were 10 of us on the tour, but Sammy was attentive to us all. It's such a great way to see NYC from a different angle too. I loved getting to go to places I would never experience as a 'standard' tourist. Can't wait to do this again on our next visit this summer!Gaagii L

What a great tour! Sammy is so much fun and so very knowledgeable. She is not only a thrifter extraordinaire, she is all about the sustainability end of thrifting, too. I had to adjust my schedule slightly, due to family matters, but Sammy was gracious and just rolled with it in a very accommodating way. I have recommended her to my friends and will take this tour again next time I am in NYC. Put on your walking shoes and sign up for this tour, you will not regret it!
