Three words: $25 vintage dresses.

Shopkeepers all around New York are trying to entice reluctant shoppers, and Collecther, a vintage clothing boutique in Bed-Stuy, seems to be ahead of the game.  Sundays there are now “Recessionista Sundays” with all the dresses going for only $25, and you also get a complimentary mimosa! Collecther also offers free alterations to clothing purchased there, so if it’s just a tad too loose, you can easily get it taken in at the store.

Collecther is just a train ride and a short walk away– the free drink and dress should more than make up for the $2.00/$2.50 that you spent on the subway.
