Fat Beats
406 6th Ave, 2nd floor (between 8th and 9th streets) phone 212/673-3883.
The name says it all. It's the source for hip-hop on vinyl in New
York City.
Footlight
Records
113 E 12th St (between 3rd and 4th avenues) phone 212/533-1572.
The place for show music, film soundtracks and jazz. Everything from
Broadway to Big Band, Sinatra to Merman. A must for record collectors.
Sporting goods
The sporting goods scene is dominated by chains such as Foot
Locker, The Athlete's Foot, Sports Authority and Modell's, though there
are a few other options - "theme park" sports clothes stores, as well as
stores tightly focused on one sport. Use them for merchandise as well as
a wealth of information about that sport in NY.
SUPERSTORES
Niketown
6 E 57th St (between 5th and Madison avenues) phone 212/891-6453.
You can enter this sneaker temple through Trump Tower, literally hearing
crowds cheer as you pass through the door. Every thirty minutes, a
screen descends the full five stories of the store and shows Nike
commercials.
Reebok Store
160 Columbus Ave (between 67th and 68th streets) phone 212/595-1480.
Not as dazzling as Niketown, but it does show ads on two big screens,
houses the Reebok Sports Club and features European Reebok lines not
found anywhere else in the States.
