The Neighborhood

Located in the heart of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, this Buffalo Exchange sits in one of New York City's most vibrant and artistic neighborhoods. Driggs Avenue puts you steps away from trendy cafes, art galleries, and the bustling Bedford Avenue scene. The area's young, creative community has made Williamsburg a shopping destination, with easy access via the L train at Bedford Avenue station. This location perfectly captures the neighborhood's commitment to sustainable living and individual style expression.

Parking

Street parking in Williamsburg can be challenging, especially on weekends, so plan extra time to circle for spots on Driggs Avenue or surrounding side streets. Consider using public transportation—the Bedford Avenue L train station is just a few blocks away. Metered parking is available but fills quickly. Many locals bike to this location, and there are typically bike racks nearby for convenient two-wheeled access.

Shopping Tips

  • Visit on weekdays for the best selection before weekend shoppers pick through inventory
  • Bring gently-used, on-trend items to sell or trade for immediate store credit worth more than cash
  • Check their Instagram before visiting to preview new arrivals and special promotions
  • Don't skip the accessories section—unique jewelry and bags often hide among the racks
  • Ask staff about their buying schedule to time your selling trips when they're actively purchasing
