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”.

Our book VINYL NYC: 33 1/3 of the Best Record Stores Across All Five Boroughs features Academy Records on E. 12th Street in the East Village, which has been in business since 2001.

Academy sells both new and secondhand vinyl in a well balanced variety of genres including jazz, rock, hip-hop, house and punk.
