Milk Money in Hastings on Hudson NY

Milk Money children's consignment store, Hastings on Hudson NY
Consignment shops are a curious amalgam of thrift stores and boutiques. Refreshingly, Milk Money, on Warburton Avenue in the Movie House Mews in downtown Hastings on Hudson, feels like a colorful garden of bright new clothes for kids.

It's only upon inquiring that I found out it's a consignment shop. Everything looks crisp and clean.

You can bring in consignment items any time, no need for an appointment.

The owner of the shop, Joy Das, has created a cozy place for kids to play while their Moms shop for school clothes, shoes, and toys.
