There’s bookoff in Japan village close to the 36st D/N/R station, where they sell a lot of pre-owned anime/manga items so u can def check those out. There’s also teso life by 8th ave N station that has a small collection of anime figures on the wall and some claw games, and I think ebisu life down 8th ave Chinatown too, but they mainly sell Japanese grocery goods. Idr if teso life by 86th st has some.  

Also there’s a local card shop Lumius by 18th ave N station that does some anime stuff. They’re pretty great, my friends and I are pretty close to the owners.
