Buying Prog in NYC

[moses]

I've been told that just across the border in Newark (of all places) there is a store called Vintage Vinyl that has tons of prog CDs. I don't know exactly where it is, or how far it is from Times Square though.

VV is a used shop and does have the occasional gem. I don't know what Poth has available to him for transportation. He could hop a train or even take a subway to the Path to get to Newark. I'd not advise his travelling in Newark without a guide though; there are places even I wouldn't want to be caught in unarmed.

The three deadliest cities in the nation... Trenton, Camden and Newark.

Thanks again to everyone for their advice. Particularly indebted to VAXman in his attempts not to get me butchered and bin-bagged in the streets of Newark. I think I'll stay in the main city. I'll still trawl around the used shops in the village looking for jazz etc, so you never know. Finally, what a fantastic thing AM is - it could never exist over here; if a radio station doesn't have a brainless megaphone foghorning at people telling them what packaged pap to listen to, the listeners' minds go into meltdown. Anyway, hooray for prog. Cheerio.

Are you in NYC for business or holiday?

Perhaps we could meet up for a beer or three. Do you drink Guinness?

Welcome to the anti-brainless-megaphone-foghorning-pre-packged-pap oasis we know as Aural Moon.

Seeing as I will be on holiday, VAXman, then a beer sounds a fine idea. However, I only have tomorrow left when I can check these forums (although internet cafes are an option, I suppose), so if you could suggest a place and time convenient to yourself, I will endeavour to make it. Cheers. Poth.

Where will you be staying when you are in NYC? One place or moving about?
