GHOSTDRONES Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Brooklyn Vegan would probably be a good resource for you as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GradedOnACurve Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 NYC Catch all thread: http://boards.vinylcollective.com/topic/97256-vc-nyc-new-york-city/ couple of threads on this topic already - just search! Other Music and Rough Trade are my favorites. I'll give you Other Music but Rough Trade is WAY overpriced. $18 for Dischord releases? No thanks! They do have a cool little venue though.

No thanks! They do have a cool little venue though. The stuff I get at both places is pretty much the same price. I've seen a few bucks more at one or the other on a few releases but nothing dramatic. I listen to a lot of UK-based artists these days, and find Rough Trade has much more of what I'm looking for as far as some of that stuff! Both have their merits though. Rough Trade in the summer can't be beat though, as you're one block away from Shmorgasburg. So, grab some food, grab some records, then grab some more food. Then take a walk along the water. Good day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punksville Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 Thanks for the info - I checked the other threads too, Hopefully make it to most of those stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1876records Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 ACADEMY RECORDS is where it's at. There are three locations, but make sure to visit the one in Greenpoint in Brooklyn. Best of the three by a mile and the girl that works at the counter is cute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streetwaves Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Really like kims as well in greenwich village. Kim's is done or will be done by the time you arrive. Get the Vinyl District app for all of your record store finding needs. Record Grouch isn't on there but it's definitely worth checking out if you come to Greenpoint where you can hit no less than five new/used record stores. Cake Shop is the worst venue in NYC. Go to http://www.ohmyrockness.com for a list of shows that will be happening when you arrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
