Largest used vinyl collection in all of NYC, TONS of vintage and antique items from media, to dishware, to art, to books, to audio and stereo equipment, to clothes, the list goes on. Cheap, too!

Best thrift shop in the area. Wonderfully weird and eclectic selection, insanely large vinyl collection in the basement.

This place houses the largest used vinyl collection on the East Coast. Every piece of Vinyl is $2. They have the strangest knick-knacks. Definitely worth a visit. I adore them!

If you like digging for treasure, apparently this place is known outside of NYC as a great place to buy used vinyl records. Hours: 10:00 am - 7:00 pm
