In some positive retail news, Manhattan45 recently opened at 220 E. 10th St. between First Avenue and Second Avenue.
The small shop offers a finely curated selection of dance music from labels such as — cutting and pasting from their website! — Pinkman, Crosstown Rebels, Body N' Deep, Curtis Electronix, Rekids, Defected, Glitterbox, Hot Creations, Kompakt, Moustache, Nervous, Vault Wax, etc.
Manhattan45 is open 1-8 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday. You can find them online here ... and on Instagram here.
And they are directly across the street from Limited to One, the collectible record shop ... so you can make a vinyl afternoon of it on the block.
