Ok so I didn't actually go record shopping today, it was a few days ago. Right now I'm actually on a plane (yes on a plane, wireless at 30, 000 feet rules!) flying to LA and from there back to Australia. 

Last time I was in NYC the night before I left a nutty Irish man told me about "The 
Thing":http://www.yelp.com/biz/the-thing-brooklyn Records in Greenpoint Brooklyn ( he pronounced it 'da ting') which he described as having a crazy amount of records and was the one DJ Shadow appeared in for "that scene":http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gpKYnRdf0A in that movie Scratch (it's not actually that store at all though).

It really does have a crazy amount of records and as you'd expect for the most part its quantity not quality. This said there were actually tonnes of great records, everything downstairs was $2 per piece and it was quite easy to find $20/ $30 records in amongst the monstrous stacks of wax. To be honest I have no idea what I bought because I didn't have a portable player with me but I'm hoping when I get home and listen I will be pleased..
