A neighborhood record store with a lack of pretension and an abundance of cool rock albums.. In Short
In the age of digital downloading, this Greenpoint record shop's anachronistic vibe is downright charming. Lazy ceiling fans whirl over a wide selection of new and used vinyl and CDs, most of the indie rock variety, although there is a decent selection of jazz and soul. The old-school environment, complete with vintage-style hanging globe lights, hardwood floors and a laid-back yet helpful staff, is almost enough to make one curse the day Steve Jobs ever started his little online music service.

Hits: This record shop has a very comfortable feeling, meaning you can find great music without all the hipster snark.

Misses: A website that listed upcoming in-store shows would help music fans plan their concert schedules.
