Barbizon is a great place to get what you're looking for in the Film/Television and Theater world. They were able to provide 100' of #2 cable (cut to length) and all the connectors I needed. My only warning is the area is a little tough to park in without paying for a lot, and that part of Manhattan seems to be under constant construction.

I feel they are the most personable and relation based lighting supply company - that has everything- in Manhattan. some "mom&pop" places have all the reliability and ease but not always everything in stock. The other bigger houses with everything in stock can be difficult to deal with at times. People say they are expensive, but I've never had a bad experience and sometimes that is worth a few extra $

Great costumer service. I am a college student and went to buy gels for our theater company, and Chris gave us a student discount and even threw in a t-shirt. Pretty affordable and clear the people there know what they're talking about.
