“I always breathe a sigh of relief when I walk into Bluestockings. The vibes are good, the book selection is incredible, and they have treats and other assorted fun things behind the counter. 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.”
“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”
“Nestled in tranquility, Housing works bookstore invites you to savor a book over a steaming cup of coffee. The impeccable service, though unobtrusive, adds to the charm. While the book collection isn’t extensive, it remains a delightful haven for leisurely moments.”
“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.”
“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.”
“HEAVEN?This bookstore is one of the Top reasons I like to go to NYC…and keep in mind I have family who lives there! It’s hard to believe but true that such a small, cozy place has so many great books and is really well organized, too.The staff is Amazing! Each person I’ve spoken with has been warm, engaging, knowledgeable and absolutely delightful!So, each time I’m in NYC and disappear, the response is…”Oh, Mom is at Three Lives.”I love it!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Quiet, yet spacious book store. The McNally Jackson franchise has placed itself in a great location by Pier 17, and has a coffee shop for work! Vanilla latte was made quickly, and organized well. Helpful and well-read staff.”
“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.”

“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!”
“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.”
“It's a Place Where Black History is Protected & Stored ! Where Our Ancestors are Reborn- Where Harlem Provides The Power of Reading To It's Young and Old! Whenever I Need to Vibe in African Culture Sister's Uptown Bookstore and Cultural Center in Harlem is My Place To Be!”
“This bookstore found me. And every since then it’s been calling me back. I walked in and was met with the smell of the alphabet and maps from every country in the world. I was allowed to peruse the first floor without being pressured and that felt good because walking in can be intimidating.Everyone there was helpful and I was directed to the second floor by means of a turn of the century elevator. Maps on this floor were organized smartly and you must ask for assistance before taking them off the shelf.I would encourage you to check out their website so you have an idea of what you are looking for before arriving. They also have volumes online that may not be in store at the current time but they have access to from their warehouse.”
“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.”
“I visited this bookstore by chance on a trip back to New York and loved it! Great selection, really friendly helpful staff, just all around ideal bookstore experience!”
“So adorable! I'm so surprised I have driven by this store without knowing so many times. This store is the cutest bookworm oasis with a sprinkle of unique knickknacks for gifting joy or just for yourself. You walk in and to the right is a little book nook with arm chairs and a "fireplace". Straight to the back right is a children's corner draped with a bevy of new and old finds and some comfy pillow cushions for the littles to sit and read. We found some great books I haven't seen before and probably wouldn't have noticed otherwise, they do a nice job placing books face forward and highlighting a diverse collection. From a book about dim sum to critter club it was a nice collection without feeling cluttered. There's another corner near the register with totes, accessories and so forth. After purchasing our books (each with a bookmark and in beautifully designed paper bags) the woman let my girls Pick out a sticker to which the obliges with enthusiasm. Right across from Verona park and a much welcomed Addition to Bloomfield Ave. Thanks for making it a lovely visit. Be back soon!”

“Spacious, clean and a great place for ... Books! and some nice toys and games too for all ages. Expect to spend alot of money here.
There are bathrooms for customers but I wish there were more stalls to keep up with the number of people who visit this store. I don't mind having a security guard at the door. I usually don't come here during the holidays and have never been asked for a receipt to get in the bathroom. So I found other places to use the bathroom before coming here (old bladder) so I can shop. Can't exactly shop if you have the need to use the bathroom.
Have not been to the cafe in a long while. The food was just ok and unfortunately there are people who are not eating taking up tables and just lounging around. I don't really miss not eating here anymore. I go into the place pretty much knowing what I want, get it, pay and leave. I've never really had a problem with waiting in line or the cashiers.”
“My headstrong wife dragged me - a very cheap, claustrophobic rube from Arizona - into this cramped, pricy space. I say pricy because I buy most of my books at Phoenix Goodwills and cant remember the last time I spent more than $2.29 for a classic. We were perfectly welcomed by a charming young saleslady (red hair) and instantly felt at home. At least to browse. I enjoyed seeing, and touching several notable specimens, but these ran $500 to even thousands of dollars. About to leave, waiting for my wife, I fingered a final super thin binding on a lower shelf so I could discern the title, and opened a crisp first edition of my ALL TIME favorite novelist, who died in 2006. It was signed. I just about died. That was the most pleasurable $145 I've spent in a long time.”
“What a neat little specialty bookstore! So many books and unique cooking utensils on the shelves. The cashier (owner?) told us about the “bookstore trail” through the neighborhood but unfortunately we did not have time to check it out. Great place check out!”
“This is has been our families favorite book store and children's gift shop for the last 11 years.Last night Halloween in Harlem was just perfect.Marcus Meets Malcom event was truly a Memorable Moment for us”
“One of, if not the best Judaica stores in the city and don't let the sign fool you, of course they have more than books....they have everying. The two staff are friendly, witty, and very helpful when assisting you with a product or something you'd like to see. The book section is overwhelmingly vast and I can't imagine them not having an item one may be seeking. I've been coming here maybe just shy of a year as I've become more observant. One thing about this place is you will always find things you weren't even looking for....it never fails. B.H. this store exists”

“Great place to find second hand books and to trade in books cds figurines and much more. The store is packed with all kinds of interesting things from vintage games to books on photography and even books in foreign languages (Japanese I think) I love stopping in on lunch breaks and grabbing a book for my library or looking at an old game that fills me with nostalgia.”

“If you are a BTS fan and/or Korean books + culture fan, look no further, Koryo is the spot where you can find most of those you want. They have a large selection of BTS merchandise, Korean books, and other cute things.Pricing are mostly reasonable.The cashiers are mainly gathered behind cash register so we didn’t request any service.The interior of the store is pretty clean and very well organized.Definitely check this place out when you are in K-town.”

“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.”
