Where can I get a tennis racquet restrung in nyc?

Looking for someone who could turn it around in a day or two. Downtown, preferably.

midtown, but have you tried grand central racquet or manhattan plaza health club?

I know that Paragon Sports just northwest of Union Square has a big selection of tennis racquets. My guess is that they do restringings as well; probably best to give them a call.

Another vote for the excellent folks at Grand Central Racquet.

Gave Grand Central Racquet a call, said it would be ready by the end of the day if I got it in by noon. Less than $30 for a standard synthetic gut.
