The post A Guide to Nail Salons in Hoboken + What You Need to Know appeared first on Hoboken Girl.

Spooky season is in full swing which means it’s time to get our Halloween looks in order. Whether you leave plenty of time to prepare or are more of a day-of shopper, Hoboken and Jersey City’s thrift and vintage stores are here to save the day. This season, consider thrifting a Halloween costume rather than overspending on a one-time-wear. Second-hand shoppers get a double benefit from the exercise: supporting the planet by consuming less, and supporting local businesses. Read on for a list of thrift and vintage stores to buy pieces in Hoboken and Jersey City for this year’s Halloween costume.

Hoboken Thrift Stores

2nd Street USA | 200 Washington Street

It’s safe to say that 2nd Street USA is two stories of vintage heaven. This highly-curated shop has been combed through and organized to perfection with items of only the highest quality. 2nd Street USA is a great pick when looking for something specific without getting overwhelmed.
