Sadly, the great rando electronics market of New York was destroyed in the
name of urban renewal years ago.  Manhattan used to have its own little
Akihabara down where the World Trade Center was.  That said, check out Leeds
Radio (http://www.leedselect.com/) in Williamsburg.  That has basic stuff,
but it also has a wide variety of weird crap, especially tubes, tube
sockets, stuff for building audio circuits like transformers, etc.  For
certain electronic bits, there are a couple stores on Canal Street in the
blocks immediately west of broadway that sell stuff, and another good
resource is the lighting stores on Broadway downtown, but only for general
electrical components, not like transistors.  As far as I know, though,
there's no equivalent of like Active Surplus thats so cool that people write
blog posts about it.
