Music venues and stores NYC

[lotusland9663]

Hello,

I'm spending Christmas in NYC (Dec 23rd to 29th) and wondered if my fellow TBers from NYC could help me out with some venues to see live music and music stores.

I'm going to see The Bad Plus at the Village Vanguard on December 26th and Mike Stern at The 55 Bar December 27th.
Any others to suggest?
Music stores? Vintage? New?

Thanks in advance for your help.
Mick

Boy, there used to be a TON of them. I don't know if Rudy's is still around, I know they're not at their original location. Uh, I don't know if the OG Sam Ash is still there, or Manny's. I think Sadowsky and Fodera will let you come shoot the poopie with enough warning. A lot has changed since last time I was there, this used to be a happenin' topic of conversation. My only advice is to go see the Dillinger Escape Plan while you're there, their last show is in NYC on the 28th.

Sadowsky is open during the week, so fun to drop in. Music wise, Greenwich Village and SoHo are more music oriented than anything heading north. Brooklyn has a ton of music too. Check with a music shop about what they look at for announcements, and you can also check here: Music and here [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

If you want to jump on a 45min train, The Capitol and Garcia's have some good stuff too. Calendar
