So im going to New York, staying in Manhattan pretty soon.
Any places I should check out while I'm there. Looking for some record shops with nice selection.
Thanks

Well, goodluck in searching. You'll definitely find good stores if you're brave enough to explore the rough parts of The Bronx or Brooklyn.

If you're a 70's roots type, you'll even have to do more digging because many reggae stores in NYC cater to the large Jamaican immigrant population, which means a lot of Elephant Man and Sizzla.

Good Records

@ Zion Gates
where you able to find record shops around the area your visiting? I myself is heading to NY soon...

Also, is Wackie's studio still around the area?

deadly dragon sound is probably the best. If you are looking for good shows, well good luck because nothing a gwan!
There are good dances though, but we want the real thing up here.
Hope I help you out a bit
