I stumbled across this gem for the first time this evening and was quite impressed by their wide selection of both new and used vinyl—everything from Curtis Mayfield to the Dead Kennedys. The shop also has a nice assortment of merch (T-shirts, stickers, etc.) and turntable gear. Staff was super friendly, records were neatly organized, and prices were very reasonable. I will be back again!

This shop is one of my favorite places on Long Island—I go here all the time. They have a great inventory of records (used & new) and get new stock in frequently. They also don't mark up rare records to ridiculous prices like many record stores, and are always happy to sell unique records to people that they know will value them. Lots of gems to be found in crates here if you know what you're looking for. They do prioritize members on RSD, so being a regular pays off. Great store!
