Kim’s Video and Music, located at 124 First Ave between 7th and St. Marks Place, has a good deal of history in the East Village. It started as a music and video store within Yongman Kim’s dry cleaning business before it had its own location on Avenue A in 1987. It later moved to probably its best-known location on St. Marks Place between 2nd and 3rd Ave.
Kim’s has always been a truly one-of-a-kind movie rental/music store with a rare collection of independent and foreign films that you’d be challenged to find in any other store. From foreign directors such as Andrei Tarkovsky and classic French filmmaker Jean Cocteau to other experimental movie icons, Kim’s has got it. And for those who are looking to get a little culture, but aren’t experts themselves, most of the staff are movie-buffs who can help you find whatever it is you’re looking for (and even some stuff you might not even know about yet.)
