You should have timed your visit to get to the Jazz Record Bash, and/or  
the Mechanical Music Show, both in New Jersey near NYC .  Thats where 
the 78s and cylinders were.. 

If you can get to central New Jersey, the best LP place is Princeton Record Exchange. 
20 South Tulane Street  Princeton, NJ 08542

In NYC there is sheet music at Coloney, 1619 Broadway and 49th St

There used to be records but they sold out years ago.  High prices -- 
sometimes above list.

There are discographies, books, LPs and a few 78s at Jazz Record Center 
, 236 W 26th,room 804 
http://www.jazzrecordcenter.com/
Not cheap, but occasional bargains.

Acadamy Records
12 W. 18th St. (between 5th and 6th Aves.)  LOTS of inesxpensive 
classical LPs and CDs,
      also good selection of used pop and jazz CDs and DVDs
       My favorite store in NYC

location yet but they list it for pop, jazz, rock  LPs

and over in Brooklyn, their Annex 96 N. 6TH ST. (Between Berry & Wythe) 
   Haven't gotten to this location either.

In Chicago 
Jazz Record Mart, 27 East Illinois St , East of N State St.

Lots of jazz LPs and 78s , not just jazz 

If you are driving, detour thru Pittsburgh for Whistlin Willies 78 store.
