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!

    i went to one on bleeker street, i though it was called bleeker bobs? whatever, ill be sure to be checking it out as this time im with a group of people, one of whom loves rekids as much as me... im sure we'll get to wander round buying ramdom stuff and pissing our other halves off ;)

    thanks for the info everyone, if you have any more ideas theres plenty of time before i get on that big bird in the sky...
