Used record stores in lower Manhattan, NYC?

I'll be going to Newark for an IT conference in the middle of March. I will be staying in Manhattan (close to China Town) for the weekend. I'll have a chance to go shopping for some used vinyl at one or two stores. My vinyl tastes are mainly blues and then jazz. Can anyone recommend one or two of your favorites on the island?

When I went to Washington DC I found an excellent bookstore that had some outstanding vinyl. I bought a King Oliver and Ida Cox 10" for $15, among others.

Don't expect to find jazz bargains in NYC. Try Academy 12th Street (E. 12th at 4th Avenue), and the Jazz Record Center (W. 26th St., google the exact address). You might find some surprises at Mercer Books (Mercer Street between Bleecker and Houston), though the selection is much smaller than at the other two stores.
