Westsider Records (big collection, good stuff)
233 W. 72nd Street, New York, NY, 10023
(212) 874 1588
Mostly classical + related. No place better for that. You could spend a whole day digging.
Last time there, with about one hour only to work with, I picked up a lot of very good quality recordings for only about $10 in the 4 for $1 stack in front. I think you could find almost anything classical or related on vinyl there.
For other genres, there is a sister store around the corner and a few blocks up on the right that is more book oriented, but does have a decent but much smaller selection of used vinyl of various types in the non-classical category. Picked up a few decent and sometimes hard to find titles in good shape for $7-$10 dollars each on average here.
For audio equipment, a stop at Sound by Singer downtown will keep you entertained. Lots of good stuff at various price points up to some of the best under 1 roof.
If you listen there though, make sure the equipment is hooked up and functioning properly. I found they have so much stuff on display that not everything hooked up is ready to make a good demo without some triage first up front.
