My family and I will be traveling to New York in December from Queensland Australia. As we do not experience cold weather like you do in New York in December we would like to purchase some good quality secondhand clothing to use while we are visiting. As we are staying in Manhattan we would appreciate it if anyone could advise us on good places to shop for Winter clothing in this area. We will also be skiing in Colorado at Christmas so we will also need to purchase good quality secondhand ski gear as well.

What can I do next?

I have three children of my own and I know how expensive it can be to go vacationing as a family. Also L.L. Bean.com I've come to love for winter clothing. Good luck and I hope you have a wonderful time. By the way I'm from NY so I know how expensive things can be here.

I personally have never shopped there, but there are a lot of Thrift shops or Goodwill stores in NY. I've been told by friends (one of whom has 6 children) who shop there that their screening process is good and their merchandise is good quality. You can look one up when you get here, there are so many of them.
I hope you enjoy your vacation!!!!
