Shawn Dub @shawndub365. Human Head Records in our book Vinyl NYC

Shawn Dub @shawndub365. Human Head Records in Bushwick, Brooklyn is stocked with tens of thousands of affordable used vinyl records, including obscure, rare & hard-to-find titles across genres like soul, funk, disco, reggae, dub, jazz, Latin, hip-hop, dance, house and techno.
Although it has an understated facade on Meserole Street, @humanheadnyc interior is a crate-diggers paradise with $2 and $5 bins and new arrival bins organized by the date each title physically arrives at the shop.
Owner Travis Klein, who co-founded the shop in 2013, states that they consistently sell out & replenish their inventory within 6 months!
Shawn Dub @shawndub365 has been an essential member of the shop since 2014 & helps mold the shop’s 12-inch selection including its large collection of dance music.

Human Head Records is one of the fabulous NYC indie record stores which we feature in our book “Vinyl NYC: 33 1/3 of the Best Record Stores Across All Five Boroughs” which is available at your local bookseller and online.

Carmine’s Original Pizza πŸ• in Greenpoint, Brooklyn

Carmine’s Original Pizza πŸ• in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. People always ask us what our favorite storefront photos we have taken are and we always respond that it’s a difficult question to answer as we have spent so many hours not only photographing thousands of mom-and-pop shops but also spending time with the owners conducting interviews to find out the history of their business as well as unique stories they share with us. 

We photographed Carmine’s in 2009 for our book “Store Front NYC”. We miss Carmine and his delicious and affordable pizza πŸ• !
