This East Village record shop is a DJ secret, stocking classic American vinyl from the 60s through the 90s, with soul, jazz, hip-hop, and disco and house singles. Start digging through the often-refreshed bins and you’re sure to walk away with some $2 and $3 finds. Owner Isaac Kaufman, a former flea market seller, hasn’t lost his touch when it comes to finding rare albums on the cheap.
