Named for Homer & Langley, the infamous Collyer Brothers (who were tragically crushed under their 136-ton accumulation of “collectibles”), the Mystery Spot is a shrine to clutter. As a child growing up in New York City’s Chinatown/Lower East Side, proprietress Laura Levine still remembers being warned by her mother that she might end up like one of the Collyer Brothers if she didn’t clean up her room.

Did she listen?

You be the judge.

Old cameras, knitting and sewing notions, vintage linens, pole lamps, enamelware, vintage prom dresses, Russel Wright dinnerware, old radios, school primers, 60′s trash tabloids, cocktail shakers, old christmas tree ornaments, black velvet paintings, teapots, early surgical instruments, thousands of record albums, old postcards and photographs, rotary telephones, art glass, mini-dresses, maxi-dresses, Fifties purses, groovy afghans, tiny figurines, and much MUCH more.

Did we mention records?

Having recently acquired a collection of over 15,000 rock, jazz, folk and C&W records (which we’re still sorting through), we can now add “used record store” to our resume. Heck, even when our doors aren’t open, customers are welcome to dig through the dollar record bins and our famous Yard Sale in a Box on the front porch (“Our Lapse in Judgement = Your Treasure!”) with 24 hour honor box/money drop at your service.
