NYC Record Shops PLEASE HELP ME!

Hello!

Im off to NYC in 40 days (not that im counting or anything...)

ive been twice before, but havent been able to find any decent record stores. now, i know they MUST exist, but new yorks a big place.

i found bleeker bobs on bleeker street last time and got a couple of vinyls, but i have no idea where the cool shops are, a decent indie record store would be nice, even a decent major (im assuming that virgin has closed in times square, is that a new record store now?)

anyway, ANY help would be good, and i do mean ANY!

thanks in advance!

The Village is where you want to be. Also, if you are there for a few days and don't mind the train trek, I looooove the Princeton Record Exchange. They have hundreds of records and CDs for 2-3 bucks

jesus, that place looks awesome!

the biggest record store i ever went to was ameoba in san fran, although it must be said, the stock wasnt all that, but the place was massive, like an aircraft hanger!

thanks for the info!

the west villiage is the place my friend. i believe bleeker street records is the best around.

Bleecker street is where you want to go. Here are the three stores within a 10 minute walk of each other;
