Best Record Store In New York


I will be visiting New York for the first time this coming 12/22/09 and am interested in going to a record store that has a large selection of Jazz and Classical. Any recommendations? Thanks for your help!

If you find yourself in Philadelphia, try Philadelphia Record Exchange on S. 5th St. They have a very good selection of used vinyl at reasonable prices in all categories of music. It isn't NYC, but it's close enough. The last time I was in Academy Records, the selection was next to zero. Princeton Record Exchange has a pretty good selection of jazz and rock and I was there just 6 weeks ago. Of course, all of these places have a varying amount of vinyl as they buy and sell. It's the luck of the draw and usually requires several visits in order to come up with really great finds. Used vinyl stores are often cherry picked by on-line dealers who sell on ebay or on their own websites at premium prices.
