There is no other than B&H Photo Video in New York:

They are the best, and a trip to the city MUST INCLUDE a visit to this store.

In Seattle, WA the premier Glazer's Photo. They recently completed building a new shop that has ample square footage, a tremendous array of gear, professional assistance, camera repair and rental services. For those living in the Seattle area, I recommend that you go for a visit.

My first great camera store encounter was Columbus Camera Group in Columbus Ohio. They were located in an old (big) church near the campus. Checked recently... They are still there in the old church.
Midwest Photo Exchange is in the general Columbus area.
Surprisingly, checking the area there seem to be a good half dozen camera stores doing well in the area around Columbus in Ohio.

Outside of Philadelphia Pa, in Levittown, there is a store called Allen's Camera. They cater to pros, always have the lasted gear, have a good selection of used, and have knowledgeable folks. Other than it's distance from me, I love this shop. Second generation.

With a pro lab built just a few years ago outside the store and just two blocks away, there is ProPhoto Supply in Portland Oregon.

Then there is the Newspace Center for Photography which is not a store per se, but a training center-gallery-gathering place, etc. for photography. Relatively new. Downtown Portland

The Photo Lab in Schenectady, NY. I've bought three DSLRs and at least six lenses from them as well as filters, monopod, camera bags, etc. I like to try things out. If I bring in my camera they will hang a lens on it for me to see if I am interested. Tom and John are great to deal with.

There is no doubt that B@H is a great camera store but I have lived in NYC for three years and there are many other great camera stores, Adorama comes to mind first with two stores in Manhattan and Brooklyn.
I hope a New Yorker would provide us with a current list. A variety of stores with specialized interests provides the camera enthusiast with many options of discovering hidden treasures, older equipment, specials, and the hunting adventure.
UHH could now provide us with a current list of Real Camera stores in the US (identified as professional), as well as tourist traps to avoid (identified as amateur like 42nd Street).
This way, after paying our respects to B@H, we could go hunting in NYC!
