REVIEW

Vinyl Paradise is a gem tucked away in Williamsburg. The moment you walk in, you're greeted by the warm crackle of vintage jazz spinning on their in-house turntable. The owner, Mike, has curated one of the best collections of jazz, soul, and funk records I've seen in the city.

The pricing is fair considering the rarity of some items, and they regularly bring in new stock. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and happy to make recommendations based on your taste. What really sets this place apart is their listening station where you can sample records before purchasing. They also host listening parties on the first Friday of every month, featuring different genres and artists. Gold rating well deserved for their specialized collection and community focus.
