Best of the New: Shopping

Buffalo Exchange

Vintage, consignment, and thrift stores are blossoming in the Boston area.

The first New England location for this hipster resale chain, the Davis Square branch opened with inventory from 11 of the 39 stores nationwide. It's fully stocked, with a high turnover that ensures fresh finds. Sell unwanted clothes for cash or trade; shoppers who forgo a plastic shopping bag get a token worth 5 cents that they can drop in containers designating different charities.
