Other Music is arguably the most important record store in NYC. They opened up across the street from Tower Records and everyone thought they were crazy. The store thrived. According to the article the store is still making a boatload of money. Their lease must be up.
Many of the NYC record stores have moved to Brooklyn. You can spend a solid day canvasing the stores in Brooklyn but it just doesn't feel the same.PROGRESSIVE SOUNDS FROM AROUND THE WORLD

Despite the increased vinyl sales, still hard to make a go of it as an indie record store owner.
Still the sticking point-at least for used LP stores-are finding those old LPs and having a constant stream coming into the store to keep people coming back on a regular basis. Used albums are getting harder and harder to find because everyone thinks they are going to hit the jackpot like they saw on Antiques Roadshow! Something Princeton used to do quite well. Now they get albums into the store but the condition of these LPs is nowhere the quality of ten or 15 years ago. 😒Myles B. Astor, PhD, Administrator

Was a store I frequented regularly. Found all sorts of interesting music I had never heard of. Chatting with the staff was always a pleasnat experience. Sad to see them go. Appears it was a preemptive move before things got our of hand so I suspect another increase. Wonder if this will affect In Living Stereo which is around the corner?
Also in the realm of real estate closings is Ears Nova. Similar situation in that the landlord was the driver, not the store wanting to leave. Still open but don't have a B&M store right now.
Pretty soon Manhattan will be full of chain stores and high end restaurants.Turntable: - 1. Fairchild 750/OMA slate plinth
