The Details on Permanent Records

Know Before You:

The store buys and trades vinyl and CDs, but owner Marjorie Eisenberg is a stickler for quality and content, so you should probably leave that scratched Nickelback CD at home.

When to Go:

Indie rock bands of all stripes (past performers include Brooklyn's Rocketship Park to Long Island's the Argyles) play free in-store shows every Saturday at 3pm.

The Extras:

Cinephiles should check out the small selection of new and used DVDs.

Save Money:

The five CDs for $10 section is your friend.
