Albert is correct about the Bop Shop, but Rochester is 5 hours North West of NYC (I live there).

I thought it was closer than that, but fortunately the Bop Shop has a great on line presence.

To their credit, every Item I've received was exactly as graded and Bop Shop frequently stocks hard to find Jazz titles I could not find locally.

I did the trip home from NYC in 4 1/2 hours one time but I was in a Cadillac and I was driving like I was going out for good sushi. Amtrac takes almost 8 hours because they stop in Albany (and Amtrac is as slow as a freight train).

Icorem. Ill ask my brother. Hes lived in NYC for 26 years and should know. When do you leave? Hes coming to visit me on Saturday. I can let you know on Sunday.

Out of NYC 4.5 hours just for record store??? No Limit Madness.

I used to drive to Princeton back in the day for vinyl. Now i just buy online. Interestingly, I've have had fewer problems with used records on places like e-bay than I have had buying reissues from the usual online sources- lot's of crappy re-repressings- no fill, stitching, etc. Today, got a brand new copy of a record from one of the usual online sources and the cover was bent. I'm not going to send it back, because I bought it to listen to, not as a collector's item. But, even when paying for new stuff and often expensive 'audiophile' vinyl from established suppliers online, it's iffy. Real record stores are great. I wish there were more. I haven't gone record shopping in Manhattan in years, but used to haunt all of them.
