Review of Colony Music Center

This long-lived Theater District shop (“since 1948”) is housed in the legendary Brill Building, among what was known as Tin Pan Alley back in the day. It’s the perfect home for Colony, a nostalgia emporium filled with a pricey but excellent collection of vintage vinyl and new CDs—from “Oklahoma!” to “Glee.” You’ll find a great collection of Broadway scores and cast recordings; decades worth of recordings by pop-song stylists both legendary and obscure; the city’s best collection of sheet music and karaoke discs (including some hard-to-find international stuff); and a great selection of original theater and movie posters.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
