Where to find cheap antiques?
Hello Brownstoners,
I've just moved into a new apartment in Clinton Hill and would like to decorate with some inexpensive used furniture. I need some larger items--a dining room table, desk, and perhaps a tv stand, and want to spend around a hundred dollars total. I'm inot really looking to invest in long-time furniture, so quality isn't a big issue. I'm more interested in finding cute, unique looking pieces, 50's, 60's or earlier, real wood, that require little to no rehabbing. Suggestions? Thoughts?
Thanks for your help!

the nytimes article was really reductive, as a lot of p.s. v. ft. greene comment wars tend to get. 11:23 i agree with you; it's not just a numbers game. prices in ft.greene/clinton hill are about as high as park slope, but it's the personality of the hood that keeps me holdin on. not that my hood is better, i just prefer it.
