Great used record store in the East Village. Large collection spanning many genres and styles. I went for the promising selection of old house and techno cuts. Will be back!

Bruh, I could've spent all day digging through their vast selection. Plenty of genres, but their hip-hop collection is staggering. Snagged a couple promo singles of some of my favorite jams.

Come for the Hip-Hop, R&B, Funk and other style alike music. On the sides you'll find amazing records for a great price.

DJs, lots of hip-hop stuff but also disco, jazz and blues. They've got some lower priced bins (1-3 dollars) where you can sometimes find some cool stuff too. Read more

Prolific selection of old and semi-new records. An affinity for New York - born genres of jazz, funk, r&b, hip hop, and house.

Insane collection of vinyl. Most of the obscure stuff is at great prices, too.

Every time I'm here I find multiple albums that I thought I would never find and for way less than I'd ever imagine paying for them. One of my all time favorite stores.

Good for bargain hunting. Eclectic mix of music genres but not much new music especially hip-hop.

Beatles, Hendrix, Eminem! What more could you ask for! Amazing selection and plenty of turntables to test records on!

Very diverse used vinyl. Rock, classical well covered; hip hop very well covered

Tons of old skool hip-hop, house, jazz, soul and funk. Some new wave and disco too. Great for crate diggers!

So many gems to dig for here. The selection of this collection is wonderful.

Good selection unless you're into punk, metal or anything released after 1985.

Ask for Ron, tell him Michna sent you. If you're looking for deep cuts, there isn't a genre he doesn't know.
