shopping in brooklyn - advice needed
 

hi everyone

off to new york again next week. would like to start discovering brooklyn. where is good for shopping and hanging out?

any advice appreciated! :)

death fuck anal heroin teenage whores everywhere.

Good day!

Sounds like the title of a Thurston Moore b-side.

exactly what i was looking for...

i really only shop at the record stores on bedford or near bedford. there's academy on n.6th and i want to say berry. earwax is on n.5th and then on n.10th (?) there's soundfix. they mostly sell cds of the indie rock kind. ear wax sells a lot of other stuff and academy sells a whole lot of used records and punk bootlegs and cassettes.

you can come visit my work at life cafe in bushwick. yeah that's all i can give you.

Is Crypt records still open?

i don't think so. do you remember where at in brooklyn it's located?

Williamsburg I think. If I'm right it was part of another shop, Music Academy.

no it's not. academy is still there. i think that's the best record store in brooklyn.

thanks, and yeah, I do remember the shop it was connected to being really good.

its the best record store in NYC, hands down.

I'm under the impression they get stuff from Fusetron besides the boatloads of used stuff that turns over quickly. There's also Eat Records out by Greenpoint and a legendary thrift called The Thing. Greenpoint has one of the best donut shops in NYC too right along the main drag there. And vodka stores.

There were some record and book stores out by Park Slope but I've never been there.
