New Record Store Pops Up On Steinway Street
The opening comes after HiFi Records & Cafe, also on Steinway Street, closed its doors in late January.
ASTORIA, QUEENS — A new record store popped up on Steinway Street last weekend, filling up a musical gap left after a beloved store shuttered in January after eight years in business.
Pancake Records opened its doors on Saturday, July 22, at 20-77 Steinway St., featuring an art gallery, cake, and live music for local customers.
The shop will be run by the same owners of HiFi Records & Cafe, which was also on Steinway Street and closed its doors in January.
