Is anyone familiar with liquor stores in Times Square area (or any with a great selection in Manhattan)?

Park Avenue Liquor Shop on E 40/41 St has a very good selection...although prices are definitely on the higher side.

@paddockjudge I really like Beekman liquor store (they are on the net, www.beekmanliquors.com). Their selection is good and the price are way better than Park Avenue liquor store. That is where I am shopping when I'm in NY. Although I never went there Drink Up NY seems to have both good selection and good prices but they are in Brooklyn. But keep in mind that you have a lot of little wine store that have little unsold gems precisely because they are first wine store and they simply don't realise how precious their unsold bottles are. That's how I find an Old Potrero 18th century style. Anyway, Beekman is my pick. Don't try to understand how they stock the whisky, ask an advisor and he will find what you are looking for. I remember that they recommended me a Willett before I knew what a Willett was so they must not be as bad as they usually are. Are you going on a whisky expedition? Lucky you! But remember, anticipation is one of the best part of those expedition.

@Robert99, to be fair, the OP asked for liquor stores in the Times Square area...not sure how many would really include 47th & Lex in that neighborhood.

@paddockjudge, can you travel much beyond Times Square? If so, there are a number of other good shops I would recommend.

Sorry, missed the part about Manhattan in general.

@broadwayblue & @Robert99, thank you both for the great information.

@broadwayblue, I am willing to explore all possibilities, but time is a factor. I'm not certain if I'll be traveling to Manhattan; however, I do have a designate who is willing to make a pick up in my absence. Yes, the prices at Park Avenue Liquor are a bit steep; I didn't suffer 'sticker shock' when viewing the inventory on-line...I felt right at home, kind of like a Park Avenue LCBO.

@Robert99, the Beekman store has a very nice selection of American whiskies...tempting indeed.
