A friend of mine is living very close to New York and wants to know good places to spend her time. Like clubs, gigs, bars, parties etc... and good record stores to visit, mostly IDM. I hope there are some people here who know the big apple good enough to give some advise. |

i guess she's in williamsburg? my favorite record store in nyc is Kim's Video on st mark's place. they have everything there. don't go to idm concerts, but i think the knitting factory has them - it's a great venue anyway. |

i actually live on st. mark's like a block from Kim's video and it is indeed awesome. another good record store is the soundfix in williamsburg, brooklyn (bedford and N10th i think). it's mostly indie rock records but they have a decent amount of electronica for how small the store is. i shopped there a lot this summer. as far as bars go, the darkroom is awesome if you go on a busy night. it's on ludlow between houston and... i can't remember the other street. |

fuck i wish i was back there :( - i bought Tri Repetae ++ from Tower Records if thats any help.. I'd also recommend checking out the museums; Gugenheim and Natural History which are both near central park (which is also worth absorbing, if you can)... the place is just soo big. I think about it most days... id like to live there with my gf soon.. |

is my fave record shop in NYC for electronic music. It's at 15 E 4th St. in the East Village (not far from the NYU campus). They've got a nice selection of experimental and avant-garde as well, though has the best. I've found Etherea to have too much of an "indie rock" vibe. I don't remember them even having any Squarepusher last time I was in. I *highly* recommend finding a way up midtown to the Museum of Modern Art. It's FREE on Fridays between 4 PM and 8 PM (closing time). As for bars and clubs, I really dig on the Lower East Side. I've heard good things about the Rothko club, but I've never been. If you wish to surround yourself will brilliant people, hang out at the Village Chess Shop; it's fantastic. =) |

Yeah, NYC is brilliant! I went there for the first time in Feb. of this year. Just walk around. I'm a tour guide in my city (Charleston S.C.) so I talk to a lot of people from all over the world and one guy recently said that NYC was his favorite city to walk. I concure. Just pop into what ever shop or sight happens to present itself. Anyway, d.b.a. in the East Village is great bar. And definitely go to MOMA. Subways are really cool too. I bought "Campfire Songs" by Animal Collective at Other Music and then saw them perform in a basement of a warehouse in Williamsburg. Awesome! |
