Never heard of it, you got some memories to share?

It was in St. Marks, 8th st to be exact in the east village. One stop shop for obscure films or underground albums and the like. If I recall correctly also had an extensive anime and AV section as well. Hit it up late night and then get food or coffee at Yaffa Cafe (open 24hr)

Good late 90s memories.

I used to hit Kim’s after digging through the 88¢ bin at sounds. Then walk to the continental for a punk show. Good times
