Best Record Store In New York


I will be visiting New York for the first time this coming 12/22/09 and am interested in going to a record store that has a large selection of Jazz and Classical. Any recommendations? Thanks for your help!

J&R Music at Park Row (City Hall area). R train to City Hall, E train to World Trade Center, or #2 to Park Row. We are talking CDs and very limited vinyl.

Best regards,

Thank you for the responses! I will be sure to check out the Record stores mentioned above. I am primarily looking for a store that has a really good vinyl section. Does Academy Records have any Jazz, or is it all Classical as mentioned above. I listen to Jazz about 70% of the time and Classical the remaining 30%. Thanks again for the recommendations above!

Regards,

Rick

Do yourself a favor by getting on a train and going to the Princeton Record Exchange in New Jersey.They have a great Jazz lp selection and the prices are far more fair than any store in NYC.Classical selection was so so.Princeton had a huge Jazz lp section last year at this time and it was a trip that i would make again.The stores in NYC had pretty dismal and overpriced Jazz sections.Also try the Jazz Record center in NYC.Lots of marginal lp's at high prices,but nice people.
