“ With our programming at Rockefeller Center, we strive to bring New Yorkers some of the newest and most impactful artistic and cultural work of today,” added Michaella Solar-March, Tishman Speyer Managing Director and Global Head of Marketing. “The Center prides itself on presenting best-in-class experiences and offerings that can only be found here, and Rough Trade is an incredible addition to our campus as New York’s leading 21st century expression of music and vinyl culture.” “It is especially fitting to welcome Rough Trade to their new home at 30 Rockefeller Plaza, which originally was known as the RCA Building, where phonographs and records played such an important role in the building’s history and are ingrained in its DNA,” said EB Kelly, Tishman Speyer Managing Director overseeing Rockefeller Center.
Since opening their first store in Williamsburg in 2013, Rough Trade has joined an illustrious list of iconic New York record stores, from Bobby Robinson’s Bobby’s Records, The Commodore Music Shop, Time Square Records, Record Mart, Disc-O-Mat, Crazy Eddie’s, Record Explosion, to Midnight Records, Venus Records, Rocks in Your Head, 99 Record, Other Music, Pantasia, and many more. But Rough Trade’s instinct has always been to surprise!” The opportunities afforded by the pandemic in the reconfiguration of central city districts have brought us, counter-intuitively, to the heart of New York, an area barren of record stores for years. “ Manhattan has a glorious history of great record stores.
“ Following the impact of COVID-19, Rough Trade’ s decision to relocate reflects a wider reimagination of cities worldwide ,” says Rough Trade Co-Owner Stephen Godfroy.
