Soooooo, I am a vinyl junkie and the hubs found a great article in the NY Times recently (and bookmarked in anticipation for NYC), but considering the source (Dap-Kings), these music stores (I think they are all vinyl, correct me if I am wrong) are worth checking out in my book....any thoughts/experiences from some NYC folks is greatly appreciated!

Logan5five GilIsEvil's first pick Other Music is the place! Yes. We will have to hit up OM while you are in town Dave.  

Their are a few used/new record (cd) stores on St. Mark's Place between 2nd and 3rd. It's also a great part of town.  

Wiz, Other Music (while not huge) has a solid vinyl section.  I would definitely recommend stopping by.   The shop is very close to where the DapTOne party is Saturday night (So is Big City Records).

Thanks for the heads up Murph, totally appreciated!  Since I am staying in Brooklyn, I will probably check out the stores in the article.  However, I am there until Sunday so I know that I will be wandering different parts of the city and will surely check out Other Music.
And this party you speak of, is it the Subway Soul party I posted about?  Or something more fabulous that I was unaware of?

Subway Soul is now at Fontana's......

Am I the only one who cannot get Frank Sinatra out of my head these days ("These vagabond shoes, are longing to stray.....")?

Oh my bad,  I now recall from your post that the party was mentioned on the DapTone website. That's the one I was talking about.  Sounds like a blast! :)

edit:  Fontana's is in the same neighborhood as Rififi.
