Members tom_s252 Posted October 3, 2009 Members Share Posted October 3, 2009 Hi all Going to New York on Monday. Looking for advice on places to go. Feel free to recommend some guitar-specific places, the guitar shops I should see or the best obscure clubs for interesting gigs etc, but some general tips would be just as welcome. Never been before so will be ticking of the major sites as well as hopefully seeing some more off-the-beaten-track stuff. Thanks all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members damacy Posted October 4, 2009 Members Share Posted October 4, 2009 I truly enjoyed The Village Vanguard. Saw Marc Ribot there last time I went, and it was mind-blowing. Also, if you're into avant-garde music, don't forget to drop by at The Stone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
