Here are some of our readers' favorite pit stops. Morningside Antiques Best Antiques Store In a district known for antiques, this title is a high honor. 4001 Central NE, 268-0188 Natural Sound Best Local Music Store This place stocks all the major releases, of course, but the real gems are the local albums you won’t find anywhere else. 3422 Central SE, 255-8295, myspace.com/naturalsound505 Astro-Zombies Best Comic Book Store Graphic novels are hitting the mainstream, but some of us have always known comics are cool. 3108 Central, SE 232-7800, astrozombies.com Zinc Wine Bar & Bistro Best Wine Bar, tied Best Happy Hour Zinc's fabulous happy hour lasts from 5 to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
