You're up against the 4th Commandment.  I believe the reason why many of 
the camera stores in NYC (e.g., B&H) are closed on Saturday, but open on 
Sunday is that their owners (& many of their employees) are observant 
Jews.

On his web site (old store) he advertises - open by appointment only.  I
problem that I have with many of the photo equipment stores is that they 
are
closed on Saturday and open on Sunday.  Tamarkin is a rare exception.  I 
had
gone into Tamarkin on a Saturday morning to buy a Ballhead as I had
inadvertently left mine at home.  Rather than spend the time and money to 
go
back and get it (96 mi. at .32/mi. + tolls adds up) I decided to see if
tamarkin had one.  They had one, @$189 and none that were "pre-owned".
Needless to say I decided to photo without the Tripod.  I asked if there
were any other equipment stores open and they mentioned that there were a
lot open on Sunday, but none other that they knew of that was open on
Saturday.
