Bought albums at Korvette's who had a great classical selection.
I would go there every weekend, with $3-5 dollars and look through the classical selection every Sunday afternoon. RCA Red Seal and Vanguard were my go-to labels. I would flip through the bins and find something that I'd find interesting.
On one occasion, I picked up a recording of The Rite of Spring. Remember this work was only about 55 years old at the time. I don't remember the performers. I recall putting on my turntable and listening to my AR3 speakers thinking, "Wow! I really don't like this at all. But, it's really really good."
Of course, things have changed in the last few decades.

They also had inexpensive recordings on the Command label. I learned quickly that different musicians made a difference in my enjoyment of the performance. Hans Kahn and his chamber orchestra wasn't the same as Karajan and the Berlin Phil.

Not really a store, but I remember listening to voice of America on short radio to practice my English.
Many times throughout the day, they would do the news in “special” English, which meant that it was read very slowly, and they used more simple words.

Let me take you back when nyc was a shopping paradise and no fucking tourists
Gimbels
Two guysHey I remember when the only sacks fifth Avenue in the country was the one on fifth Avenue and had elevator men announcing the floors and what was on each floor.
And right near by was lord and Taylor and bergdoff Goodman.
For cheaper things there was Alexander’s across the street from bloomies.
New York that I grew up in before the tourists arrived.
