Record City

Record City brings a different part of Brooklyn into the guide. The Fenimore Street shop is in Prospect Lefferts Gardens, and founder Ian Clark's connection to DKR gives reggae a meaningful place in its background. The current official feed is broader, showing rock, soul, jazz, rap and dance records as well as reggae. That makes it a neighborhood record destination with a specific musical foundation, rather than a one-genre stop. It is also well outside the dense Greenpoint and Williamsburg route. Choose Record City as part of a Prospect Park or central Brooklyn day and give the vinyl selection its own time. Adding it casually between two north Brooklyn shops would underestimate the geography.

New and used LPs and singles across reggae, jazz, soul, hip-hop, rock and dance music, with collectible records appearing in the changing stock.

65 Fenimore Street in Prospect Lefferts Gardens. Prospect Park station serves the B, Q and shuttle, while Parkside Avenue on the Q is another nearby approach.

Keep this visit within a Prospect Lefferts Gardens or Prospect Park outing. Greenpoint's cluster requires a separate transit leg, so choose it on another part of the itinerary.
