I'm making an NHL trip to New York in a couple of days, so I wonder if there are any retro gaming stores in the area (preferably Manhattan) you would recommend. And of course, Nintendo World is a given place to visit. =D
Video Games NY is a nice place to look, but don't buy anything unless you like getting ripped off.
The Nintendo Store is boring and only worth your time if you're an extreme N-Head.
If you want to travel a little ways to NJ you can always check out Joe's store (Digital Press). He doesn't have a ton of imports but he's got a lot of everything else! Recommended.

Stay away from J&L's in Chinatown.
Rip-off prices bizzare.

It's called "Astro Games" at 181st Street & between St. Nicholas Avenue & Audubon Avenue.
They have brand new-in-the-box SNES games for $15 and brand new-in-the-box Lynx games for $5.
I go there all the time !
