Yeah, I'm looking for a board and bindings for a beginner/intermediate rider. I posted something the "Boards" forum and have gotten some feedback so I have a decent idea on what I want. Just need to physically go to stores and check out the merchandise myself.
Not sure of what shops are around in the city but if you don't mind hopping on the E train and taking it to Forest Hills (Queens) come check out Emilio's on Queens Blvd.
I received a 10% off Black Friday (and Saturday) coupon yesterday. Shoot me a PM with your email address and I'll email the coupon to you. It's good 11/25-11/28.
Agreed - the Mt Everest Meadowlands sale is something to check out and if you have access to a car there are great shops in NJ worth the drive. I've never been to Blades or Paragon so can't say much about them besides their location.
I'm not particularly fond of Paragon as a store because of the huge amount traffic and the hipsters at most of the sections but the snowboarding dept is pretty solid. A couple of the guys there are knowledgable and really attend to you. I stop by if I'm in the area and talk about the conditions in the area and see what new stuff they got. I got my girlfriend a pair of boots there last weekend and they hooked her up and let her walk around the whole store in a couple of pairs of boots to see which fit the best.
For all my stuff I usually I go to Gilly's Snowboard Shop in Pittsfield, MA. Its a good drive (~3 hours from the city) but my brother goes to RPI so I always make it out there when I pick him up. B.Gilly on the forum here owns the shop and I've never had a better experience at a snowboard shop.
I am going to check out Paragon tonight to talk to some knowledgeable people and then head out to the Mt. Everest sale tomorrow night before stuff gets picked through.
Hopefully I can pick up some new gear!
