I remember going to the Big Apple w/my Dad back in the 70s, & there was at least one street that the shops were TINY, barely wide enuf for a door, showcase, aisle & electronic gizmos piled to the ceiling. Seems like most of 'em sort of specialized in one or 2 varieties of gizmo. This was a LONG time ago, B4 computers , CDs. My Mom loved the street that was the "Diamond" street, same basic set up, biggest difference was that all the sales guys/clerks were Hasidic Jews, they all wore suits, dress shirts, NO ties, full beards, but NO Moustaches... Every one of 'em was likely carrying half a million bux worth of diamonds.. I dunno if I was as ODD looking to them as THEY were to me... But if you can't find what you're looking for in the big Apple, you likely don't really need it anyway..
