Glad you asked...being from CT I'M IN THE CITY quite a bit. ones that are worth mentioning, ZAPP records 258 Bleeker st, yes uptown from where you'll be staying. To make a long story short...there are about 5-8 GREAT stores on Bleeker street ,then for your "old school hip hop" around the corner on 3rd ave there's Fat Beats (it's on the second flr so pay attention or you'll miss it) you WILL Not believe what they have. Accademy records 10 W 18th st. another excellent choice. Then to top all those off there are a number of mom and pop shops all thru-out the Village (btw that's where ALL these shops are) so keep your eyes peeled.
Audio equipment not so aubundant there was a phenomenal shop on Broadway (also in the village) the Stereo Exchange, they are still there,but they don't sell used gear anymore..just Home theatre,,they told me about 5-6 years ago that they don't sell used gear in the store anymore because of Audiogon,,. how ironic,,,believe me, having gone to this store back thru out the 80-90's they were like a candy store,totally unbelievable!! I guess Audiogon is sort of a blessing and a curse,,,I'll stop here because these stores are more than enough to keep you occupied,give me a holler if you need me to be more specific.
And by all means let us know what you find..
