New York

This historic river city 120 miles north of Manhattan has transformed from industrial decline to become the Northeast's hottest antique destination. Warren Street's well-preserved 19th-century architecture houses over 60 antique shops in a walkable seven-block stretch overlooking the Catskill Mountains.

Buffalo's antique scene benefits from Gilded Age mansions and proximity to Canadian imports. Allentown, Elmwood Village, and Hertel Avenue offer distinct shopping experiences, from Victorian antiques to mid-century modern, with Niagara Falls nearby.

Syracuse's antique scene reflects its Erie Canal heritage and salt production history. Westcott Street and Armory Square offer shopping areas. The city's industrial past and university presence create varied opportunities.
