Deep Groove Posted January 28, 2004 Report Posted January 28, 2004 Thanks to the snow last night, all of my meetings today were cancelled, and my flight home was delayed until 7:35p. Bad news for my travel schedule... GREAT NEWS FOR CD SHOPPING!!! I hit Academy Records yesterday, but can anyone recommend a few places to hit the stacks (preferably in the vicinity of mid-town)?

Dan Gould Posted January 28, 2004 Report Posted January 28, 2004 There's a Tower and a Virgin Megastore on Broadway. I think Tower is around 42nd street, its across from BB King's club. Virgin is farther north, maybe around 50th or so. Quote
Deep Groove Posted January 28, 2004 Author Report Posted January 28, 2004 Search the archives I tried, but I can't get anything to come up. I've tried setting the bounds as "any time" and "any forum," using various iterations of: new york, nyc, jazz, store, stores, cd, lp, records...ad infinitum, but no luck. If you don't have any recommendations, perhaps you could enlighten me as to what I'm doing wrong with my search. Thanks. Quote
Deep Groove Posted January 28, 2004 Author Report Posted January 28, 2004 Oh, and thank you for the tips, Dan! Quote
John L Posted January 28, 2004 Report Posted January 28, 2004 There is a great jazz-only CD/LP/book store on one of the streets in the mid-20s near 8th. The have a lot of out of print stuff. I can't remember the name right now. Look in the NYC guidebooks. Quote
