57th Street Books is a fun, funky, and quaint general bookstore in the basement of a building. It has a huge selection, including many children's books, an extensive sci-fi/fantasy section, a good selection of cookbooks and poetry, and a mix of new and old titles. The cheerful place has the real patina of time with exposed brick and worn floors. You can wander its hallways and different rooms forever, almost getting lost. The staff are always helpful and great. As a non-profit part of Seminary Co-op, it is a gem of a bookstore to support.
This is one of our favorite bookstores in the city. They have a huge selection of children's books and staff are always helpful.

Helpful staff and so many choices. I went in looking for a book but sadly they didn't have it. Walked out with 4 other books including an English Portuguese one.This is a cheerful place that I could easily have spent more time in.

This is a fun little bookstore in the basement of this building. You can wander around forever and almost get lost. So much fun.
