2nd STREET Columbia University

On West 112th, 2nd STREET Columbia University turns reusable goods into neighborhood currency. The store sits in a brick walk-up beside the 1 train, where students and locals swap everything from vintage jackets to dorm essentials.

Under one roof you’ll find shelves stocked with clothing, books, and household items, plus a steady rotation of desk chairs, kitchenware, and small appliances. If you need something specific, the staff can pull items from the back or set aside pieces you’re seeking. Donations arrive daily, so inventory shifts as quickly as the seasons.

A few steps inside and you’re browsing tables that look like flea-market finds packed into a tidy grid. The same goods cycle through the floor, making repeat visits feel like treasure hunts rather than errands. Whether you’re furnishing a first apartment or clearing out before finals, the space keeps the hunt simple and the prices light.
