My first experience shopping at McNally Jackson was in Soho, at their Prince Street store. That location, which has a cafe, is relatively large for a bookstore in that neighborhood, so it wouldn't be fair to compare it to this one. The McNally Jackson in Williamsburg is special in its own right, however. It manages to carry the look and feel of a local, independent bookstore, while also maintaining a fresh, modern vibe with its bright lighting and welcoming layout. A table featuring new, popular titles is the first thing someone sees as they enter the store, making it incredibly easy for them to discover their next book (or another to add to their reading list). Considering space constraints, there is a decent, well-organized selection in stock. This bookstore, like any McNally Jackson in Brooklyn or Manhattan, is worth checking out.

They have different kind of different topic and Sudject. From history to friction non friction literature. And even controversial budget when it came to also religious belief

Great and cutting-edge book selection in a beautifully designed store. They have very good staff picks to help you choose your next reading, but go ask them… they are super helpful!They also carry very thoughtful and well designed stationary and can wrap your gifts.

Quite possibly the best bookstore I have ever been in. Very clean, friendly staff, extremely well organized and amazing selection. I loved the section of Middle Eastern Authors and their politics section was refreshingly modern. Will be returning

My favorite bookstore in NYC! Love how they categorize the books and display them. Makes it really easy to explore and find a new read. Or find what you're already looking for. Awesome spot. Follow me on TikTok @rynelly for more NYC recommendations!

The staff's warm assistance made my last minute visit memorable as they helped me find the perfect birthday gift—a Herbie Hancock book. A delightful bookstore experience that I highly recommend.

I was in the neighborhood, and happened across this bookstore. It is accessible, with large displays of popular books up front. The building is nice and modern. It is well-organized, and had a good selection. Honestly, it's a great book store.

We stopped by McNally Jackson while in the area, and I'm glad that we did! I do enjoy checking out a good bookstore, and this one was a good find.The place is pretty well-organized with a very nice selection of books - from monthly bestsellers, staff picks, to new & noteworthy fiction/non-fiction, there seems to be something for everyone.Can't find what you're looking for or want a recommendation? Ask any of the friendly staff that is readily available.I liked their stationery section, as, surprisingly, they had a lot of Japanese products - notebooks and pens galore! I also liked their greeting card section, since I'm a s***** for fun, local, hand-pressed cards from independent artists.They also have various events in-store, such as storytime, author visits, and conversations with writers. Note that some do require an RSVP, so make sure you sign-up before it gets sold out!There are random chairs and benches set up throughout the store, but they're a little fragile and shaky - just beware!+great selection of books+in-store events+stationery section

Great store, friendly staff! Good selection of books including a section on New York City. Seems a little expensive, but nice to shop local.
