Anyone have any stores worth checking in NYC? Not looking to buy anything, I'll be up there this weekend and wanted to check out some stores.
Looking to find some cool fish, reptiles, and/or birds.

Sweet, saw a video on that one.
Do you know if Fauna NYC is still around? Looked like a top notch store.
Any reptile stores in the city?
Not sure about that.
 
absolutely fish in Clifton NJ about 30 mins from the Lincoln tunnel, is worth the trip

There is a smaller store, I forget the name, on 37th st. near 11th avenue. They have really cool display tanks and lots of amano- inspired aquascaping goodies like dragon stone and rimless glass tanks.

There are also some interesting ones in Chinatown that sell super pricey flowerhorns and the like
 
Fauna NYC is no longer around

Monster Aquarium in Flushing is great. Also Pacific Aquarium and JC aquarium in Manhattan Chinatown could be worth a visit (JC is a hole in the wall with overcrowded tanks but often has some cool monsters).

The store on 37th and 11th is Manhattan Aquarium. It’s pretty reef focused but the last time I was there they said they were expanding their FW stuff.

Yup, Manhattan Aquarium is the one. Was going to check it out today but ended up only having an hour and it was a 20 minute walk there and 30 minutes to dinner reservations... didn't want to only have 10 minutes there. Oh well, next time.
Chicago's in two weeks - going to try and dedicate a day to nothing but touring pet stores.
