Lele Buonerba: The best record store I've been to in New York. Fantastic selections of secondhand records in very good condition. I bought a whole lot of disco 12" for extremely fair prices (most for just $3).
Tom: an excellent source for limited edition vinyl and cassettes.
7th.List: Rare & Tough-to-find (proof - http://goo.gl/aO0S9) records + new offerings from trendsetting local indie labels like Captured Tracks, Mexican Summer (http://goo.gl/uNsFC) & RVNG(http://goo.gl/4YuR1) Read more.

Todd G: Really cool little shop, with a nice range of stuff ranging from cheap guilty pleasures to obscure imports and solid classics. Totally worth the 5 minute walk from the L.
Barrie Cohn: Very cool newer little store. Great selection. $5 and under vinyl in the back! Also, talk to Travis, store owner. Nice guy.
Alex Robertson: Downstairs is all the stuff they list on Discogs. (A ton.) upstairs is a ton of unsorted stuff. Have a blast.

Jory Cunningham: Great selection and very reasonable prices won't try to sell you a scratched copy of a super-common record for $20 like Academy!
7th.List: You just can’t replicate this online...Formidable used-LP trove, touching ’70s jazz, oddball European prog & metal + shelves’ worth of CDs & a magazine & indie-press book display. Feel the groove baby Read more.
chris newmyer: Good pricING, horrible priceTAGS. Get ready with the goo-gone & kleenex: the tags stick badly to the covers. The kleenex are for when you feel like crying because you just ruined all your LP jackets.

Brian Masefield: A great mix of everything (but they should remove old/former price stickers, since they tend to charge more).
Jay Shaw: If you're lucky, you swing by on a night with live music. Call and ask and don't forget to bring beer.
Anthony Polito: If you know, you know.
