Media - books, cd, dvd

There are lots of media stores in and around St. Marks. So many, you may wish to make a special trip to browse.

Kim's Video (also has CDs)

Good
This is Kim's "Flagship store" - Kim's is a small chain in New York. It's a strange place. The first floor has a pretty great collection of CD's (including many european, alternative, and modern art music CDs), the second floor has video sales and the third is for for video rentals. The organization of the rentals is way confusing - it may be hard to find a particular video if that's what you're looking for. Sometimes the videos are organized by decade, sometimes be genre, and sometimes by director. So maybe it's best to go without a specific goal in mind and just browse.

But having said all that, it's a pretty wonderful, quirky store full of strange, non-traditional selections (as well as most of the traditional stuff).  (2006-01-07)

St. Marks Bookshop

Very Good
Independant bookstore - especially good for intellectual and artistic types. Great fun for browsing, especially the large art and graphic design books.  (2006-01-07)
