New York City Photography stores

Other than B&H, what are some good photography shops to check out? I'm heading there tomorrow for a week. I'm looking for a 45mm tilt-shift.

Thanks!

Adorama, the Crumpler store(s), or if you come to Jersey, Bergen County Camera.

B&H is my favorite spot though.

Oh, and the apple store in front of FAO Schwarts, open 24 hours. Very worth the trip. It's also right in front of central park, and the cart guys (53rd and 6th) are right there too should you go at night.

Who are the cart guys? You are the second person to tell me to check them out!

The cart guys are basically a food vendor on the corner of West 53rd and 6th Avenue. They serve Halal food (to my understanding is the muslim equivalent of kosher). It's $6 for the "mix plate" which is beef lamb and chicken. And you MUST try the white sauce on it. And LOTS of it.
