“If you love theater, this is the place for you. An amazing selection of plays to read and consider---you can explore ancient plays by the Greeks, Elizabethan contemporaries of Shakespeare, or plays that have just closed on or off Broadway. Great ambience; friendly staff and comfortable spaces where you can lose yourself in whatever play you are reading. I am really happy it exists and always look forward to visiting.”

There are lots of great community supports such as a free public bathroom, a free “store”, groups, and events. I am so glad that this place exists, and happy to continue to support them.”
“A book lover's paradise in Union square Manhattan. This bookstore has all types of rare and out of print books. Spent some quality time here. Wonderful readings.”
“This is a fantastic little store. It is a little hard to find because although the address is on Sylvan the store is actually located on the second floor of the Williams Center. very meticulously put together shop with books, records, CDs and graphic novels including what may be the fullest collection of Steve Ditko books. If you wanna know what it was like to find a great little corner record/bookstore on a side street in Manhattan in the 80s, just climb the stairs here.”
“Everyone is very friendly and knowledgeable. They have a fantastic collection of new and old comics. They also have a really great collection of collectibles in stock. They've also got a large collection of graded comics.”
“I work in children's books, this store is a NYC gem. Staff have great recs at the ready for young readers of all ages. The first-print book collection is gorgeous. Great posters of classic books, the read aloud and signing events are unparalleled. You WILL go in for a book and see/meet a famous author/illus there by accident almost every time signing their books”
“Love book stores which are virtually a relic of the past. A nice place to spend some time browsing titles. I was looking for books for our grandchildren. I noticed it was a draw for some neighborhood seniors as a place to cool off on a hot summer day while reading up on some titles.”
“Great variety of books across genres and geography. Very good selection for Arab Heritage Month, although I wish it was downstairs, closer to the main foot traffic.”
“I love how much the employees love books but also love helping people. Thank you to the blonde lady up front (I don't recall your name) for being so helpful with us. I am not much of a reader and asked for "fiction yet had some historical truth". She quickly went to work finding some awesome books. We left with 4. Definitely a place we will come back to every time we are in town.”

“Astoria Bookshop is tucked away off the main drag and that only makes it more perfect. The shop is loaded with current best sellers, kids books & cute notebooks, bookmarks and cards. They even had some signed copies of books that were great to see. The ladies were so friendly and sweet. I had my dog with me and they were so excited to see her and offered her treats and pets. Checked out the shops Instagram where they have all their events & happenings. I also picked up my next read and I'll definitely go back there for more books and tosupport this great shop!”
“Has to be one of the best bookstores in NYC. The book selection is incredible, I’m always so tempted. There’s some benches to sit on and browse, no cafe/food if you’re looking for that. Just books, what else can you ask for while walking around soho! The staff are all super kind.”
“Businesses like this are what make Greenpoint so special. Archestratus is a rare gem that brings community together and creates an authentic place to shop, eat and hang in the neighborhood. I always pop in when I need a special gift for a friend or some fresh groceries for home. Paige is so sweet and creative and puts a lot of love into the space.”

“Finally found the place i was looking for. The store was full of inspiration! The owner was very welcoming and knowledgeable. If you spend enough time there is no book you can't find in this store!”
“This is an amazing place. Books upon books in all different genres for very reasonable prices. The volunteers here are friendly, LOVE books, and are super knowledgeable about titles, authors, and anything else you might be wondering.
Good air conditioning too! That made browsing for a long time comfortable and peaceful.”
“I stumbled upon this cute place while exploring the city. I had never heard of a zine before but was in awe when I walked in. It’s easy to forget about time and get lost in all the zines and books. The staff is really kind and passionate about the arts. Savannah really took her time to show me what Zines are all about. I was really inspired by her. I can’t wait to come back in the fall when I’m in the city.”

“Great store. All the cookbooks you could imagine are here. From various niches to various cuisine types. Knowledge and friendly staff that know their food stuff.”
“Love this place omg! Tons of super cute things , even if you don't buy anything its fun to look around. Total animanga lover heaven. The cafe is really nice and they make an amazing jasmine boba tea. Some of the things in store are at a markup so I'd recommend looking online before purchasing more expensive items. But you can sometimes find good things for cheaper thn usual. Got a really nice figure for a steal! Only real complaint is that it felt a bit awkward when going to check out, some of the employees just seem like they do not wanna be there. Not even a small smile or a "how are you". Asked for a bag and she had this face as if i was doing her an inconvenience. But maybe I just caught her on a bad day idk. Definitely going again soon though!”

“a nook of a bookshop located on Bleecker Street, nearish to Bowery. it's a cozy spot filled with used books that are well-curated from floor to ceiling. while the store is a little cramped, the books are organized well and fairly easy to see/identify if you are looking for a particular title. there's a good range of books from mainstream ones to more uncommon tomes. i stop in here occasionally and haven't had any luck yet finding books that i am searching for...but i remain confident that i'll make a hardcover purchase here soon!”
“This is without a doubt my favorite book store in the city. McNally Jackson is generally great wherever you go, but the seaport destination will always have a special place in my heart. The staff here are super knowledgeable and even ordered me a book when it wasn't available on shelf! The space is a perfect mix of modern and historical with the hard wood and leather couches, its the perfect place to stop in for day enjoying the Seaport District. My advice? Check out the best sellers and staff pics when you first walk in and then make sure to go peruse upstairs for the full experience, ask a staff if you get stuck and/or need help and then take your new book next stairs to the cafe and enjoy a delicious coffee while you start reading. Truly the perfect day.”

“I am grateful Jersey City has this amazing bookstore! I especially appreciate the personalized efforts they put to ensure you receive the book you ordered. And honestly people shouldn’t complain about the prices. This is the type of entitlement that has put us in a situation where we have only one quality bookstore in Jersey City. Wear the old coat and buy the new book!”
“I just completed my first purchase from Aeon Bookstore: three scarce, decades-old, literary journals. Aeon's owner shipped them immediately upon receiving the order in many layers of bubble-wrap protection. When I unwrapped them, it was gratifying to see that the conditions of all three journals were exactly as Aeon had conscientiously described them in his listing. I could not have been more pleased.”
“Tannen's shop is magical. Anyone who has made it to the 6th floor at number 45 and to door 608 will end up in a paradise for magicians. Hundreds of tricks are waiting behind the large counter to be demonstrated and purchased. There is also a whole library of magical literature on the shelves.”
“Good service. I wanted to ask you what they had of albums from txt. They are really nice and I love albums.i wanted to ask for they're txt bias but to scared.”
