Permanent Records

Beyond a broad selection of indie-rock staples and curios, this Park Slope (formerly Greenpoint) haven houses an inviting selection of jazz and funk—as well as offering good deals on trade-ins and fairly priced used vinyl and CDs. You have to buzz to get into the shop, which is located on the second floor of an unassuming office building, but once you find the goods, the new location proves to be cozy spot to dig crates.
