John Doe Records and Books

Known For

Vinyl and books sharing shelf space in genuinely democratic harmony

John Doe Records and Books stacks vinyl next to paperbacks in a bright & airy, vintage-interior space that rewards slow browsing and conversation with whoever's behind the counter. It's a local favorite for people who can never leave a record shop quickly.

🕐Best time to visit: Saturday afternoons when the record listening station is free

434 Warren St, Hudson, NY 12534, USA

Our Take

John Doe pairs records and books in a vintage-leaning, bright space that rewards the kind of slow, aimless browsing that's increasingly rare — the double inventory means you rarely leave empty-handed. It's a charming local hybrid that earns solid marks without quite reaching destination status.
