a LEGEND in midtown...

by tsok at Citysearch

An incredible selection of must haves, never heard ofs, and just-in pick ups is what makes this store siimply the best in the city. Covering every genre you can imagine, you're sure to always find something interesting. Plus the prices are FAIR. When was the last time you got a fair deal in a record store?

  • Pros: Price, Selection, Knowledge

Great Hell's Kitchen CD Store...

by nipsyco at Citysearch

I think bugmenever review (below) is bulls**t!

What's a matter? The ice cream @ the CD shop was no good?

Listen, This is a small, funky shop with a great, great selection.

Paul covers the waterfront with the singer-songwriter stuff (from Bowie n Costello to Cat Power)

and Greta knows funk, soul, blues, punk and lot's more than you!

Rare LP's, new LP's, buttons (i got a freakin' Link Wray button for my messenger bag!

how cool am i?), used Mojo mags (come on, that's hip) and more.

These 2 peeps know music. You might not find Rod Stewart sings Broadway, but i bet

you can find some Japanese electronic noise CD that nobody has

(and probably find it as a promo for less money).

Yes, bring cash, but they are not expensive and even cheaper than most CD shops.

Remember the days when you walked into your local shop (whatever it was)

and the owner's said "Hi" & "Need help?". That's what I'm talkin' bout!

GREAT SHOP! YA DIG?
