[OT] Game Stores in NYC

[ichabod]

I'm going up to New York City for the weekend, and wondered if anyone could recommend a good game store to check out, especially one with a good selection of used games and maybe dice.

The Complete Strategist. Oh, I think that is its name.

Yep, the Compleat Strategist. Also check out Neutral Ground (http://www.neutralground.net/Stores/NYC/Home.asp)

I don't know of any stores that carry used games... Are you looking for RPGs, or boardgames?

Compleat Strategist on 33rd between 5th and Madison is a good bet for any kind of games as well as dice, and Neutral Ground on 26th between 6th and 7th (kind of hard to find, look for a large black banner outside the building, because it's on the 4th floor and doesn't have a storefront) carries a good RPG selection, Reaper minis, a crapload of card games, and some boardgames.
Then there's also the Games Workshop store on 8th street (two or three blocks east of 5th Ave.)... And that's about it, unfortunately.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll probably check out the Compleat Strategist and Forbidden Planet. I went to NG last time I was in NYC, and was not that impressed.

CS remains the best one stop roleplaying shop in town.

Compleat Strategist is definately the place to go. It doesn't have used games that I am aware of but it does have a lot of out of print stuff. as of the last time I visited, I could still find out of print Dark Sun adventures and Mystara, Hollow World stuff.
