Second Hand Records is a true hidden gem vinyl record store located on a side street (Lawton St) in Bushwick, Brooklyn just a short walk from the J subway line on Myrtle Ave at Broadway.
Even though the shop is super well organized (both 12 and 7”), you can always ask the owner Federico (seen in photo) if you are looking for something in particular as he is super knowledgeable & helpful.
Second Hand Records NYC is one of the fabulous NYC indie record stores which we feature in our new book “Vinyl NYC: 33 1/3 of the Best Record Stores Across All Five Boroughs."

Bailey’s Corner Pub, York Avenue, Upper East Side, NYC
Bailey’s Corner Pub on York Avenue in the Upper East Side has been in business since the early 1950s and is one of the “under-the-radar” neighborhood gems we included in our book, “Great Bars of New York City”.
The back bar is believed to have been constructed in the early 1900s and once sat in a restaurant across the street from Bailey’s.
Let us know if you have visited Bailey’s and seen its gorgeous wooden bar.
