Staying in Manhattan, if I can find some time, what camera/photography stores would you suggest visiting, if any. And which to avoid.
Maybe I can find another birthday present on the trip.
thanks

B&H Photo is a must.

B&H - 420 Ninth Ave, New York, NY 10001
Adorama - 42 W 18th St, New York, NY 10011

STAY AWAY FROM 42nd st. PHOTO

If you get out to Long Island, I have several more places.

Yup, but that was about 750.00 more than expected.

B&H is a huge store. Adorama is smaller but also good. Most like to go to B&H when in NY.

B&H and Adorama are both excellent. One bit of advice:
Punch a small hole in your credit card and put a leash on it! A short one!
Happy Birthday and have fun!

Although both B&H and Adorama are good, I've found B&H to be the better several times. You MUST visit it. Ninth avenue between 33rd and 34th streets. And don't forget to check out their used department. They have some great equipment at a good discount from new and I've found they have some flexibility in price in the used department if you just negotiate a bit. ENJOY!!!!

When you are in the theatre district some of the best restaurants are on West 46 st. My favorite is Le Rivage, a classic french bistro. Prices aren't bad either(but all NY City restaurants are pricy)

Get some great shots downtown at the Freedom Tower and try to get high up on a rooftop at night too. There is a nice rooftop lounge at 230 5th Avenue (at 27th Street) with good views around. Nice place to share a drink with your wife.

Happy Birthday and we'd love to have you visit our store. As Vinnya mentioned, we do a hard close on today, Friday at 2:00 p.m. and are closed all day Saturday and reopen at 10:a.m. on Sunday.

Enjoy your visit and have a safe trip.

Go to Brooklyn Heights. The Promenade at the end of Montaque St. has some of the best views of NYC and bridges. Night time is spectacular. For sure B&H.
