81-63 Lefferts Blvd, Queens“I did a quick stop at this bookshop. It is so cute and cozy. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. They also offer to notify you if a book is unavailable. They are more personable than the big brand book shops. Will come again.”
“This store is amazing! I just happened to be walking by with my son when we spotted it! They’ve got some great things at amazing prices! My son had a ball with the $1 comics! They’ve also got a great selection of books, toys and other things. Definitely a hidden gem and worth going out of your way to check out! Plus staff was super friendly! We will be returning!”
“A wonderful and wide selection of Torah literature for serious scholars and for the layman or woman alike. A very respectable collection of books written in English as well as a very nice children's section.Although there are a number of paintings and a large selection of other Judaica items like yarmalkas and tzitzis and some music the main focus is books and Torah literature.They usually receive the latest recently published scholarly volumes and biographies and display them on a separate table.In addition they organize sections to cater to those who are interested in books on upcoming Jewish holidays, life cycle events and the weekly Torah portion.The salespeople are knowledgeable and accomodating.”
“Absolutely beautiful - books to the ceiling. Old vintage books smell I loved it feels like a hidden lost royal library. The owner is super sweet and friendly and the prices are amazing! Picked up a book that normally on Amazon is 21$ I got it like new condition for $1! Yes you read that right ! Love this book shop will definitely recommend and will return!”
“Love this bookstore! The owner and workers are friendly. They have a small table so you can sit and read. They offer a lot. I just wish they stayed open later during the week.”
“Great little bookstore and decorated so cute! My daughter and I love going there and picking up a book or two. We also enjoy the fun, interactive read alongs with the book characters, like Dr. Seuss & The Grinch.Maria gives perfect book recommendations and also provides a fantastic tutoring service. So happy this bookstore exists! Highly recommend it.”
“I went for a book signing for one of my favorite authors Ben Burgess Jr, and I have to say this is such a clean, well stocked B&N!!! I love the gift section. Items were arranged neatly, and the atmosphere was very inviting and conducive for learning, reading, or just a coffee and a chat with a special person.”
“My daughter had a great experience thereVery kind,caring,and hard working staff .Parents and teachers have good communication.. Always updated with activities and events ..”
“It has provided comprehensive bibliographies and books for Chinese readers, including the library, for many years, and is a symbolic facility of Flushing culture.”

257-19 Hillside Ave., Queens“I have had the pleasure of visiting both the Iselin, NJ and just this past weekend the Jackson Heights store. Wow! I went to buy books (and believe me, they have a most extensive collection!) All of your puja needs can be found here. And to my surprise, a Doctor of Ayurveda on site. Everyone, regardless of ethnicity will feel welcome when they come to shop here. It is clean, well-organized, and the staff is very friendly and will answer any questions you may have. They were very patient when it came time to ring up my large order. I find the prices to be reasonable and would spend my money and time there again. I can tell that the owner and his associates take pride in their culture. Come visit Butala Emporium...you won't be disappointed. Jai Shri Krishna!”
“This was very first time I ever went to this location. I was looking for a particular book. I was asked immediately if I need assistance. They were able to get the book i was looking for. Very friendly and helpful. Wonderful staff!!”
“Nice experience, they have a new section where they sell patties,drinks,cakes etc....they're lentil and chicken pea patties are really good,they do sell out quick though,also like to buy their sea moss to put In my smoothies. Definitely worth a look see ? ?”

651 E Park Ave, Long Beach“I visited Dr. Barry late Friday afternoon as they wer about close. Dr. Barry stayed after closing to complete a repair to my sunglasses. The staff is very professional and friendly, they’re a great addition to our beach community.”
“Best book shop ever! I called to find a random book in the antique book section, because I live on the West Coast; despite the tedious nature of the task, everyone I spoke with was incredibly patient, friendly, and professional.”
“So there aren't many Barnes and Nobles left, especially in the city, but this one in Long Island is awesome. They are in a shared lot with other businesses so there's also a shared parking lot. Plenty of parking. The first floor is all books as well as the checkout counter. Each section is labeled with the best sellers one of the first sections. Horror, History, Non Fiction, etc. it's easy to find a specific book if you need too. Each section is also in alphabetical order as well. The 2nd floor which you can take stairs, escalator or the elevator. Not positive on the elevator but pretty sure they have one More books on this floor mostly for children and kids but not the entire floors. There's also a very large toys section which is awesome. Toys, board games and more. There was also some seating scattered throughout the store. I didnt need help as it was easy to find everything so I didn't notice too many workers on the floor but I want to say they were there if you needed help. Check out was easy and the cashier was very friendly and engaging. They also have a rewards program as well if you opt into that.”
“Was here recently to pick up a graduation lawn sign. The employees were friendly and helpful. The store was clean, neat and there is a lot to choose from. Campus is beautiful.”

200 Hofstra University, Hempstead“The bookstore is wonderful and has many things an aspiring student could want. But, it has two levels and to get to the basement level a disabled student has to know where the elevator is and how to find the lower level of the book store.”
“The bookstore is beautiful! It has eye catching displays, is well stocked with all the supplies you could need or want, and has a wide variety of clothing and accessories. The staff is also so kind and helpful. As an alumni, I was very impressed by the bookstore.”
“Besides the rival overpriced college books, they have literally everything for your college needs. Sanitary items as well Incase of an accident or you need lip balm for the cold days you could get it here. Clothing made will really great material for everyone in your NCC Family. Too far from the cafeteria? No cash for vending machine? Well they got snacks for you.”
5AM - 11PM
303 30th Street, Queens“I bought some KN95 masks from this Hudson News in Terminal 4 for $5 each. There's a markup, but not a big one. You can buy them in bulk on Amazon for about $3 each, so I'd say $5 for a single item, at an airport, isn't bad. That's also less than the vending machines in the terminal--they sell them for $7 each. The masks are great. They form a tight seal and have a metal nose bridge piece. They are warm, but very easy to breathe through pressure-wise. I assume they're effective.”
“Beautiful store, beautiful products, and the cell phone department was very friendly and helpful in helping me get the most awesome best phone for the easiest most connected lifestyle”
