The Rat’s Nest

About

The Rat’s Nest is the vintage shop on East 36th Street in NoDa, small enough to miss and dense enough to lose an hour inside. This is curated vintage instead of thrift, covering concert tees, cowboy boots, decor, music and oddities, with inventory hanging from the ceiling like a well loved shed. Costume and film buyers shop here.

What to know

  • Look up, because the ceiling is fully stocked.
  • The person behind the counter is usually the buyer.
  • Expect vintage prices, not thrift prices.
  • It opens afternoons Wednesday through Sunday.
