The Monk Thrift Shop at 97 E. Third St. between First Avenue and Second Avenue is out of business. The shop had not been open since the COVID-19 PAUSE... and the space was recently emptied out.
The hit-or-miss Monk debuted here in the spring of 2010 ... in the former home of house, funk/soul and techno vinyl specialists Dance Tracks (RIP 2007) ...
The Monk outpost remains open in Williamsburg.

This Monk shop was the one that used to be on Ave A around 12th st. Also on Avenue C and 11th for a short time. Different guy runs it than the ones that were on Macdougal st and also Avenue B and 10th. For a little span of time there were 5 of these around plus one in Park Slope. I worked at 3 of them moving around from store to store.
Oh, I'm bummed. There were some real treasures there, and it felt way less curated (in a good way!) than other thrifts (excuse me, VINTAGE) shops in the city now.
I miss Dance Tracks
