How to Take a 24 Hour Food Tour in Orlando, Florida | Eater Miami

"I pop into this spot for vinyl and music finds—it's called a must-stop for music geeks browsing the Audubon Park plaza." - Faiyaz Kara

I can’t say enough amazing things about this record store! The employees went above and beyond to help me get two of my biggest sought after Taylor Swift items, two vinyls I’ve been searching for forever, and they came through with incredible prices and the kindest customer service. They truly could see I was a true fan and not just a reseller and it showed in my interaction with the owner. You can tell they love what they do and take pride in helping people find those special pieces that mean so much. I’ll definitely be a lifelong customer. Thank you for making my dream finds happen!!!

Phenomenal selection of CDs, records, books, posters and everything in between. A catch all for Orlando’s thriving music scene. I shop here frequently and have only ever had one issue (out of MANY purchases) with a record and they got it squared away no problem. I am now the very happy owner of the three LotR soundtrack releases. Thank you, Park Ave CDs - you guys are the best of the best!

I love this place with my whole heart. Everytime I’m in the area I stop buy at get at least one record. The staff is friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The vibes are immaculate and I never feel rushed. Sometimes it’s really busy but sometimes I get lucky and I can look around a bit longer. They have a sales, special drops, mystery bags and will do store credit. I absolutely love this gem of a place and will continue to come at least monthly!!

Absolutely the best place to find all sorts of music. They have CDs, Records, Cassette Tapes, and more. I love how they also transform their store into a live venue. So cool to witness. 100% must go if you're a fan of music and vintage vibes.

This place was so good for metal/hard rock that i non stop gasped while looking at the cds. They have everything you could ever want, and if you can't find it, the very nice employees will look to see if they have it. I only bought 5 cds, but I'd buy out the entire damn store if I could, just wonderful

My kid spent over an hour at this wonderful store looking through records and CDs. One of the best record stores in orlando area! Parking is right in front of the store and there are more local cool stores next door to check out as well! We found a treasure and will be back!

Great selection of CDs; we ended up getting 4, but wanted so many more! They have vinyl, cassettes, VCRs, Funko Pops, books, and more. I will definitely be back.

Tried to give them more stars, but the limit was five. The variety of music here is crazy-good. They have stuff that I haven't seen in many other places. Indie, heavy metal, used rock, alt rock, blues, experiential, so. Much. Stuff. Very, very well organized. Reasonably priced. Super nice staff, too.

I loved this shop!! Definitely recommend if you are in the area. This store is pretty big and I loved all the different categories they had to offer. I loved how they had so many artists and multiple albums for each artists. There was a whole section for unique vinyls too which I thought was cool (for example: movie soundtracks, anime etc.) I was able to pick up some unique and rare vinyls! They also have a good selection of cds and Knick knacks. I would say most things were reasonably priced.

Have stopped in twice in the last two months both times I walked in and walked around the entire store , not one employee even spoke to me or offered any type of assistance. They were either checking their phones or having conversations with other employees.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! If you like supporting local, check out this place! They've got vinyls, CDs, books, and other knick-knacks. They do really cool stuff through social media and that's all the employees, which is awesome. They really take pride in their work. There is very little markup on their stuff compared to what you'll see online, which I'm always willing to pay to support local.

Records are not easy to come by these days. This one is a gem. It has a varied selection of new and used vinyl. I like to come here to get presents for my husband since they a great selection of box compilations that I can't find anywhere else. I think the prices are reasonable too.. next time I will take pictures!

Park Ave CDs is located in the Audubon Park Garden District. This area may well be the coolest part of Orlando. Along this strip you will find a funky mix of unique and independent businesses including the East End Market, craft beer, Dear Prudence, and The Lovely Boutique Market. There are so many cute places to eat and shop. My daughter took us here during a recent visit to Winter Park. Park Ave CDs has a huge vinyl selection. My daughter and her father love the same kind of punk and alternative music and they appreciate the nostalgic and unique sound vinyl records provide so they enjoyed exploring the records. I'm the outlier so while they bonded over records and CD's I shopped their cute selection of gifts. They had a lot of humorous items with sarcastic comments which spoke to me. They also have collectibles, books, fun snacks and candy, and a Ton of Funko Pops. The passive aggressive pencils had me cracking up. Park Ave CD's has so many unusual things you don't see anywhere else. This is just the kind of independent small business I love supporting. There aren't very many record stores left so thanks Park Ave for keeping the vintage sound alive.

If you are not local to the Orlando area, it is worth the drive to Park Ave CDs. They have new and used records, cds, tapes, books, games, magazines and so much more. There is a vast variety of music and it is very well organized. The staff is super helpful and will even search in their online store for items you are looking to purchase. We drive over from Tampa because there are no other stores that compete with Park Ave CDs. The items are fairly priced. They have autographed vinyls and list what is available on their website. A very rare find when it comes to music stores!

This record store is so cool--seriously, I love the vibes and how organized everything is! I've visited three times during the weekend, and every time, it's packed with customers, which is a good sign (except when I'm trying to browse the front area and dodge the line at the cashier ). Some prices are a bit higher compared to other similar stores, and I'm pretty sure most of the books are playing a game of 'Guess the Price.' Still, I keep coming back because of the vibe!

Don't get me wrong, Park Ave CDs is probably one of the best record stores in Florida and their inventory is impressive, but a recent encounter recently discouraged me from spending my money here (we all know collecting records is not a cheap endeavor). A 30 year old, pudgy, bearded cashier (no name tag) was so unbelievably snarky and condescending towards me (I am always polite) during the checkout process, it genuinely ruined my experience of coming here. To be frank, it was very uncalled for. I get having bad nights at work, but you must do better. There's plenty of other places for me to spend my hard earned cash. - Lou Sassle

This is definitely one of my favorite record shops in town! They are super versatile when providing different genres - they sell new/used. I love all the equipment they sell in addition to just vinyl; record players, needles, bags, tape decks, cds etc. staff is incredibly friendly and store is organized. I've purchased a good amount of tapes from here too. They offer "grab bags" which you can buy from $5-$30 that have a assortment of records as a SURPRISE, so you won't see what you're purchasing until you buy it. Super cute idea, I've gifted them plenty of times. This record shop also sells books, posters, and tons of local nick-nacks. Great prices! :)

Came into Orlando to find Park Ave CDs as a standout vinyl record store on my quest to visit as many record stores as I could before heading back home to Texas. This spot had so much music on CDs, vinyl records, 45's, along with media and books and t-shirts and stickers. The list goes on and on! I am a vinyl record collector and I have to tell you how much I appreciate all of the used or previously-owned rated and ranked information and history labeled on the records. On tiny stickers there are simple and direct descriptions of every album and the condition of it. I love this! I was able to find myself a pretty cool (and priced reasonably) for a Divine Fits LP I had on my "must buy" list of records. Seeing it was in a great condition it became a no brainer I was going to buy it. I was impressed with the quality when I came home - it sounds and play is fantastic without any issues (just as the sticker said on top of it!). This is a spot you can easily spend more than an hour here digging, reading books, figuring out what celeb print out you want to get, and browsing. I saw plenty of artwork here from locals too so definitely worth a look around if you want to take back some pretty unique Orlando swag. I don't recommend traveling with records in a hot car but if you are flying be sure to walk on the plane with whatever gems of records you find here to take back home with you. I guarantee you will find a record that speaks to you. I saw a dozen here and now that I am back home I am regretting not have bought the ones I was considering.

I'm a newbie record collector. Park Ave was recommended to me as a good place to start and I was not disappointed. They had an amazing selection when we went on a Saturday morning.

Very good customer service. Tons of CDs and cassettes and a huge selection of vinyl records. They also sell cd players and cassette players in case you were wondering. My only complaints are that there are some CDs and artists are featured on the website but aren't there in person. Also they have a mystery grab bag which is $5 for 10 CDs (great deal btw), but the over half the CDs had some sort of stain on them or a scratch; for example one of the R.E.M. CDs had a literal coffee stain on it and a U2 album had a huge scratch on it. All of them were functional, but i'm pretty sure they just grabbed a bunch of cds from the used section and shoved them in a bag. The cds i bought new were great tho so 10/10. I bought 13 total CDs at 48 dollars which is crazy because they cost 192 without tax on amazon. very good shop i recommend you visit. sorry for english .

Great selection of CDs, vinyl, books and gift merch. If you're tired of corporate Barnes and Noble fare, you can find an off-the-straight-and-selection here of literature, music, journals, kpop merch and more. Service is friendly and knowledgeable and quick to respond to questions. I'll be back.

Based on the vast array of music from records to cd's to audio tapes and assorted merchandise, this store is easy to make one overwhelmed. The staff was very accommodating and helpful. Why not five stars? The records were too closely stacked side to side and back to front. The markings for the genres were not always easy to find but when you know where to look for them, it became easier.

I'm from South Florida and came up to Orlando for a nice weekend getaway. I heard a lot of great things about this vinyl record store, so that was definitely on my places to visit list. I'm a vinyl album collector. It looks unassuming based on their location, but don't let that fool you. When I walked into the store, there are rows and rows and rows of vinyl records, a decent amount of 45s, cassettes, and a big amount of regular CDs. There are other little things that make this place like no other vinyl record store such as Funko Pop figures, Japanese candies and snacks, books, stickers, enamel pins, and more! Even if you weren't interested in the vinyls, there is practically something for everyone, young and old. I've been to a lot of vinyl record stores where I'm from and Park Ave CDs takes the cake as one of the best, with a great selection of music. It was great finding some rare gems and vinyls that I couldn't find at other stores. I'm definitely coming back here when I visit. Highly recommend Park Ave CDs!

Like a throwback to the heyday of music. They have a huge selection of mostly new and some used records, players and accessories. You can also find CD's as well as t-shirts and gifts from candles and Funko Pop to snarky sayings on towels and card games. Books too! The prices are not reduced but it's the premium for having knowledgeable staff to help and educate you.

Recently visited for RSD 2023 and had a lot of fun hanging with my friends (not a fan of the new time slot format though). This is a cool spot, good people and lots to choose from. This place is an Orlando gem and worth checking out, even if records are not your thing.

What an eclectic store! They had so many records, CDs, and other small gifts and toys. When we arrived, the door was locked because they are limiting guests due to Covid guidelines. Someone came to open the door and added us to the total headcount of the store. We browsed through all of the records and small gifts. I can see myself losing track of time and spending hours in here. I'm a total sucker for mystery grab bag and I bought one of the mystery toy grab bags. There was a sign that only cool kids but mystery toy grab bags...so I had to, right? Definitely check them out for all your record, CD and gift needs!

Park Ave. CD's is one of the unique, but sadly endangered concept of the record store (though they were a bit updated with CD instead of record in their name). Records stores were teenage meccas to rebellion back in an age before music was obtainable with a download, when a record (or CD) were masterpieces of music and art all blended together to create a commodity born out of art. Park Ave. CD's, despite their name, offers vinyl records and CD's along with books, bobble heads, humorous socks, and other cool, trendy stuff jammed in a small space. The store covers various genres of music, from jazz and classical to punk and heavy metal with everything in the middle. Prices are fair, though some of the items are priced rather absurdly high for what they are. I spent probably an hour checking out the CD's and walked out with a few gems I discovered in the bins. I recommend a visit here, you might find a new band or perhaps a book that interests you. To quote the Rolling Stones, "I know it's only rock and roll, but I like it."

Park Ave CDs is my favorite little shop in Orlando. This place has everything from records, CDs, books, posters, and small gifts. When going in the store is medium sized, but the aisles are smaller so when it is busy it is hard to really take your time looking at everything, so we always opt to go in the early mornings if possible or on weekdays. The sections are organized so neatly by category, genre, and alphabetical. We have found so many amazing records in here that I feel we typically don't see often and even newer records. They even accept online orders, so we were able to pre-order the new Taylor Swift vinyl through their website and pick it up in stores. I love going here not only for records, but for fun gifts. The last row farthest from the door has so many funko pops, more than you can ever imagine and the variety is amazing! There are some that I have never even seen before. In addition, I love looking through all the books that they have as I found recently a studio ghibli cookbook that I did not even know existed. This is an amazing place to stop if looking for a quick gift for someone because you can never leave here empty handed!

Honestly, this is my favorite record store I've visited in the state! When I first began my collection in college back around 2014, Park Ave CDs was the only place I'd go. Now all these years later, I still make the drive from South Florida every few months and this is one of my go-to stops when in town. The selection is pretty amazing and the staff is always kind and welcoming! I also love how connected to the community they are, always raising money for great local organizations. Keep up all the great work!

I have been coming here since I was Around 14 or 15. I'm now 27. It has always been one of my favorite spots for cds and used dvds back when those were relevant. Now they've really focused on vinyls and they have an amazing selection. Aside from records they also carry a plethora of cool Knick knacks like Asian candy, socks, pop figures and more. My first experience here was for a instore acoustic performance by Manchester Orchestra and since then I have seen many more here. They also sale tickets for shows and I love having a printed copy so I come here. Today I took my neice who is around the same age I was my first time coming here. We got her very first vinyls for the record player I got her. I love supporting local businesses and it's amazing how some of the same friendly faces have been there since I started coming and they are still readily available to assist.

Definitely a place I love to check out every time I'm in Orlando. I tried going last night but there was a long line outside due to social distancing. I tried going again this afternoon and I was able to go in after a 5 minute wait. Their COVID-19 social distancing protocol is good as you feel you can safely explore the store. Great and ample vinyl selection and a lot of quirky items. The staff is so nice and welcoming.

Park Ave CDs has a great selection of new albums. Their used selection is smaller, but each used album has been graded by the staff, which is often a big help when perusing used items! They have a great stock of CDs too (as their name would imply), as well as books and posters. Enjoy the cute community and shops surrounding it as well.

Great little record store with an amazing selection of classic and new school records. My boyfriend DJs & he is obsessed with records, so we have been to several places around town. He had been looking for this location for years & when we walked in he nearly lost it. Wall to wall records, listening stations, DVDs, and various novelty items to place around your home. They even have drinks & surprise bags filled with a random selection of CDs, DVDs, pop figures, and tshirts. You can spend hours wandering the aisles and still not see everything. Such a fun place to visit!

What a cool place! They have a Huge and I mean HUGE selection of music! prior to walking in you don't expect it to be so big inside. They also have a nice selection of CDs and books. Everything is so organized and labeled by genra and artist, I was impressed! there is plenty of staff who are super helpful too. One of my favorite things is a section with mystery bendle selection of music in paper bags for a fraction of the cost. Including cassettes! What a fun little way to be surprised. I must point out the whole plaza has alot of interesting shops including a restaurant, coffee shop and brewery so it's definitely worth the trip! It's nice to know orlando has a local place like this.

Very cool shop, and for a used vinyl fan a small but very well curated section filled with some surprisingly good albums that might be picked over elsewhere. A bit on the pricey side, but I think you're paying for the selection of records which is not filled with low end garbage. I found this sweet, original Mance Lipscomb album from 1967 for $18 which sells for around $30-$50 online. As a Mississippi Delta blues fan, I see this as a huge score and I'm so happy! For the bargain hunters there is a $3-$5-$7 section and I found some LPs that would be $8-$10 elsewhere. Overall, some great selections of new albums, but a solid used section, and all the wisdom that comes with awesome, friendly music staff.

Oh, baby! I'm not sure if you've noticed, but occasionally I suffer from a fever. These fevers tend to hit extremely hard, my brain begins to ache, a feeling comes over me that is incredibly overwhelming, I somehow transform into the Hulk. Doctors call it... Vinyl Fever. Did you think I was referring to something else? Ah, now I realize how misleading that sounded! Jokes aside, Park Ave. has solidified itself as one of the top record stores in Florida. Hands down. Stacks of records are readily labeled and tuned for flicking. First impressions? Incredible selection of 45's, take the time to vet through the pack. Had to purchase a Joy Division single on clear vinyl of "Love Will Tear Us Apart / Leaders of Men." Full LP's are plentiful and not for the faint of heart. The classic names are ample, but it's the moderately popular / slightly underground bands that come out on top at Park Ave. On top of all that, there's record equipment, books, cd's, posters, t-shirts, stickers, etc. Already plotting next return to Orlando just so I can spend a few hours at Park Ave!

I love going here and taking a gander to see what new records they have. I love the atmosphere and convenient location! I also love going to the various events they have. Record store day is a must. And they recently announced that they're expanding which is HUGE cause their store is a little on the small side.

After a busy holiday, I finally got the chance to get down to Park Ave CDs and buy Letter To You from Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. But before I could get into the store, I had to wait in line outside which is marked off for social distancing. Keeping the number of shoppers to a minimum, Park Ave CDs will allow customers to come in and shop after a few customers leave. Wear a mask, and they provide you with a shot of hand sanitizer upon entry so your grubby little paws will not be grubby when going through the vinyl and CDs. After the gentleman opened the door for me to enter and gave me my shot, I proceeded to where the rock-n-roll CDs are and grab the new Bruce with my not so grubby paws. I could have spent an hour in here browsing, but knowing there are customers waiting outside, I wanted to be quick with my purchase. But I did take a moment to look at some funky kitchen towels on display. Whatever taste in music you have, you should be able to find what you are looking for. And Park Ave CDs also has a great selection of books, t-shirts, record players, and all sorts of fun stuff. There is a movement to support local businesses and shop local. So I am glad to do my part and come in here. Love this place!

THIS. PLACE. IS. AWESOME. I just visited here for the first time after I heard they still had Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions. My daughter and I are Swifties so we hopped in the car and made the one hour drive to get there. Super impressed by their selection and variety of items. Employees we all great, very friendly and knowledgeable - serious props to them for understanding the Taylor Swift demand and checking people out quickly! Will definitely make the trip again, highly recommend!

Went to this store for the first time on Saturday. Was pleasantly surprised at all the items in the store. They have great vinyl but also have a very interesting book collection. Also lots of little tchotchkes that I had trouble not buying. Overall 10/10 would recommend.

I stopped in here for the first time this weekend and it's pretty cool store! My boyfriend's sister-in-law gave me a gift card to Park Ave CD's for my birthday and she raved about it. She said she spent a long time searching for good record stores in the greater Orlando area and told me this one is her favorite. So I had to check it out. It's pretty unassuming from the outside, but it's a really awesome find inside! (Isn't that always how it happens?) My boyfriend and I had recently purchased a record player and we had a few questions on getting it set up with our external speakers and the employees at Park Ave CDs were friendly and helpful with answering our questions. They sell some record players there as well if you're looking to buy a record player. They have a few different types. Their selection of records at the store is pretty extensive. They also have more than just CD's and records here, they sell books, movie posters, and funny socks and things in the back as well. Also FYI - they require everyone to wear masks in the store and will provide you one when you walk in if you don't already have one!

Park Ave is a GREAT place to shop for new vinyl! Their selection of modern/pop rock new LP's is some of the best I've seen in the country. The only places I've seen with a larger selection were Amoeba and Rough Trade and they win on volume not curation. The shop is laid out in long rows and you get right into the thick of it immediately entering the store. There you'll find the used CD's and the rock vinyl. What I believe sets Park Ave above many of their competitors is the organization. They used old-school dividers and labeled each with a label machine. Neat, easy to read and well separated I don't think you could ask for more. Oh and the title card comes after the artist, not before..... Park Ave does it perfectly. You want Johnny Cash? No problem. They have probably every release in print right now. Gram Parsons? Yup, and he has his own place card. The Stone Roses? Of course they do! I could go on, but hopefully you get the point. The only thing that keeps this from a 5 star, is not a large selection of used LP's. And I've been to Amoeba, so if that place is a 5, this isn't in that realm. But make no mistake, these guys are thoughtfully stocked, well staffed and priced better than almost any place I've been. They also carry some collectibles, books, t-shirts and posters but I was short on time so I had to stay in my lane. I hope to go back again and spend a few hours just going through the shop properly. Of course I recommend bringing a ton of cash, because if you want it, they probably have it and more than you were thinking.....

2020 has been weird, to say the least. After we went on lock down for a while, businesses slowly, but surely started to open back up but with new safety guidelines for customers and employees. I'm happy to report that Park Ave CDs has been handling this thing in the best possible way. For a while, they wouldn't let customers inside. You would call in advance, and they would bring your records out to your car. Now that restrictions are easing up a bit, Park Ave is back in business. I know buying records isn't exactly considered "essential items" by conventional standards, but it is to me. Music is therapeutic, and there is nothing quite like place the needle on your favorite record and relaxing as if everything is going to be ok. I stopped by Park Ave recently just to browse, and I'm impressed with the way they're handling business. When I got there, the door was locked. This indicated to me that they're only allowing a certain amount of customers inside at a time, and that is 100% A-Ok in my book considering how easily crowded this place used to get. As soon as you walk in, an employee spritz some sanitizer on your hands because what do you do at a record shop? You use your hands to browse through records. This is a smart move to ensure the safety of customers and staff. Everyone working there are wearing masks at all times and they've mandated a masks-only policy which I hope the rest of the state of Florida would follow suit. You can read my thoughts on Park Ave CDs on my previous review. They're still awesome, and they're still one of my favorite places in Orlando, especially for music lovers. If you're kinda iffy about venturing into newly reopened businesses, Park Ave has got you covered. This has been the weirdest year I've ever experienced but going out and purchasing some records by your favorite artist is absolutely therapeutic in these uncertain times. Thumbs up to the Park Ave CDs team for taking a responsible approach to COVID-19 as well as still being the best place in Orlando to shop for music. Like I said earlier, music is therapeutic and it certainly helps to have a used vinyl or CD to help you make sense of the world.

These guys helped me rekindle my love for vinyl. I haven't had a turntable since high school which was a notoriously horrible crosley suitcase player. Soon I resorted to purchasing vinyls again without a player just to feel something. Eventually I was ready to drop an unnecessary $500 on a new setup. But a couple days ago a very helpful man (maybe the owner) crash coursed me on what makes a good sound. He suggested their starter kit which was only $225 (which I HIGHLY recommend). It came with everything I needed including 25 protective sleeves and an adorable crate. The nice cashier helped me carry everything to my car. The sound quality is miles better than I could ever imagine especially with the speakers' adjustable bass and treble. I can't thank them enough for saving one of my hobbies!

Visiting for spring break and decided to check this place out. It felt like being in a Peaches store back in 86... But better and more welcoming. Just flipping through the records was a blast. I have to come back though, and finish my digging around. Place has a nice friendly vibe and groovy visuals. Can't wait to return on my next visit to the area. My one suggestion would be for the clerks to not put price stickers on the used album jackets front and center. Putting them on the backside would work just as fine, and preserve the front image. Takes one second to flip the album. I slightly ruined one of my purchases today trying to remove them. Thanks!

Best record store ever! They have a great collection of tons of albums and CDs from many artists of all genres. They also have a bunch of interesting books, plushies, and your not so typical sodas in the back. Staff is super friendly and are very willing to help you out when you're looking for something specific. Once they gave me and my fiancée free cupcakes from the Blue Bird Bake Shop! The store even hosts live music events and sets up a stage. They also sell tickets for concerts around Orlando so you don't have to deal with ticketmaster fees. This is definitely a place worth checking out if you're in the area or you're looking for a nice record store.

Not just CDs! This shop was one of the stops on the Shop Small Sip and Stroll event. It's a great shop with all kinds of unique, funny (off-color humor) items. Found fantastic stocking stuffers for the adult kids in our life. Will definitely return when looking for a gifts or party favors for future celebrations or events. They even offer a frequent buyer punch card for their blind boxed toys.

My kids went to some karaoke event a few years ago here, and ever since then they haven't shut up about "poppa punk" Listen, their dad doesn't like punk so I'm not sure what the heck (pardon my language) was goin on there. He's a country and jazz kinda guy. Or maybe they said "pop punk". Either way, soda pop is not allowed in this house because if my kids have too much sugar, they're gonna... you guessed it, they're gonna want to play punk music. Whatever's goin on at this record place is okay in my books though because whenever my kids visit this place they come happy and that's what matters most. Some of the music they bring home isn't so bad, some of me it makes me run around the house in circles because I like it so much. My kids said I was doing a "circle pit". Dang kids and their hip lingo!!!1!1!! ;)
