BLK MKT Vintage

BLK MKT Vintage is truly an exceptional place to visit. The space is wonderful, inviting and filled to the brim with gems that tell the stories of our past. From vintage copies of novels to classic vinyls to old Black Panther Party newspapers, they have everything and then some! Not to mention the owners are as kind as can be, and are not only there to answer any and everyone question you may have, but also possess a knowledge and love for our culture and history that knows no bounds.

My fav finds are Mariah & Toni’s cassettes. After listening to Mariah’s autobiography and the stories behind those experiences since, I’m glad I got it then. And from a place where I want my money to go to. It was hard to leave the store. The place and the customer service were 10/10.

These wonderful curators source and sell a treasure trove of items related to Black American and African diasporic culture. Prompt shipping, outstanding customer service, and truly one of a kind finds. Much more than your average antique shop.

My new favorite place. I live in the neighborhood and never once went into it because I thought it was something else entirely. So much Blackness made my heart smile!

What a wonderful experience! I went 2 weeks ago and was greeted with such lovliness. What a neat nifty idea. Nostalgic & great to snap a photo!

I visited the shop to purchase a birthday gift for my best friend and the in person shopping experience was even better than I could have imagined. The space is beautiful and every single item is placed so thoughtfully, the music adds to the ambiance. The owner was so patient and so kind as I took the time to choose a perfect gift. The space they have created is extremely valuable. I left with a gift for my friend and some treasures for myself. Amazing business. I highly recommend.

I’ve been to this shop more than once and each time was magical. The quality of the vintage black pieces were incredible, rare and quite a find. It felt like visiting a piece of home. The customer service was impeccable. The owners are so kind, and helpful. The music makes you stay longer because it’s such a vibe. I would definitely visit and purchase from this shop again

From my understanding their storefront has been temporarily closed for a while due to the pandemic, but if in person shopping is anything like their online shopping experience — you’re in for a treat whenever they reopen! You can tell the owners take time and care sourcing items that educate and tell meaningful stories rooted in Black history and culture. Seems like there’s a new item I want to order almost every week. I don’t live in NYC so I’ll have to settle for virtual shopping for now but I hope to visit in person in the future. The shop looks beautiful and well maintained.
