this isnโt nyc but its pretty close (nj) but theres this one good record shop i enjoy going to a lot called jacks music shoppe. its in redbank and the whole town area is pretty cute and has nice antique and thrift shops as well
at least i remember these being cool :) & new hope is just across from lambertville (you can walk across the bridge) so theyโre not far apart !! iโve heard the area is a little less cute nowadays but thereโs other shops and things so you should be able to easily spend a full day there
edit: embarassingly meant to say lambertville not frenchtown
really depends on what genre your specifically looking for but here are some i enjoy -nostalgic love rock by late night drive home
-get gone by fiona apple
-i want you (shes so heavy) by the beatles
-electric relaxation by a tribe called quest
-denial is a river by doechii
-hole in the earth by deftones
-sour times -live by portishead
-righteous minds by joey bada$$
-jukebox joints by a$ap rocky
