quicklist of some great companies/restaurants in NYC

J&R Music and Computers - retail location near chambers street. EVERyTHING tech you could ever need.

Computer-Hospital 2087 Amsterdam Ave. This store is a mish mash of audio and computer parts/ computer graveyard as some of the hospital's patients sometimes die... but the good part is that they donate their organs! If I needed a random part for an older laptop I would call this place first. It is the type of place that takes a good look at you and then decides how much to charge so you have to know how to play the game. Cut yourself a deal or pay full price!

Cables and Chips - near chambers street as well, for last minute needs like 75 ohm RG59 734 cables without having to mail order at 6:00PM on a Friday, they are the go to place!
