couple other BIG big box stores
There's probably a fair few tourists wandering around 34th Street, where the flagship Sam Ash store is:
https://www.samash.com/lp/sam+ash+stores And the Union Square Guitar Center is huge, bigger than the Times Square branch, and arguably a touristic attraction in its own right: https://stores.guitarcenter.com/manhattan

Shop for strings in New York
Quote:
There are plenty of choices in that area though the part of the question about “good prices” is another issue. It’s NYC so “good prices” is a different issue. Good compared to online suppliers or good compared to other brick and mortar stores ?

I mean good compared to... european prices  Well, I understand that online prices are for sure better, but for good I mean within 20% more than those. Is it possible?

Plus, no postage/shipping charges - that alone should easily make it worth your while to stock up while you're there.

 To be serious, it depends on brands and on sellers. And I speak only about Italy. About guitars I can say that factory guitars costs much more here. Because you have what you call street price that is 40% off price list. Consider to pay here a price between the right price list and 8% more. On boutique guitars, is more or less the same. For example on a guitar that you pay 3.500$ (but you have to add local taxes if I understand right) here you can pay 5000-5200$. About string once again depends on Brands. Here you can pay a price that is from +20% to +120% (and sometimes more) of your online prices. If I buy from US I have to add shipping cost and 30% for import and italian taxes.
