Midtown
Visiting NYC's most-popular camera and electronics shop is an experience in itself – it’s massive and crowded, and bustling with tech-savvy Hasidic Jewish salesmen. Your chosen item is dropped into a plastic tub, which then moves up and across the ceiling-high conveyor belts to the purchase area (which requires waiting in another line).
It’s all very orderly and fascinating, and the selection of cameras, camcorders, computers, audio equipment and other electronics is outstanding.
