Academy Records (classical location), 12 West 18th Street, btwn 6th & 7th ave

Westsider Records, 233 west 72nd St. off of Broadway (very nice place)

Hello I live in the city and have to say that vinyl is really dried up over here. If u like and I should not tell u my haunts. Try all the local thrift shops and some of the Salvation army stores. I do go to acadamy once in a while but they know the prices for all so no real bargains to be found there. I believe secound hand rose is not there anymore and yes they were very pricey for the condition and what they were selling. Well thats it and happy hunting.

I was a little disapointed in Academy's quality the last time I was there, but the selection is large.
Walk down St Marks in the village, there are quite a few record stores as well as some cool places to eat and a pretty fair people-watching selection.

dear folks, Thank you for your responses.
