I always feel welcome, a most see if you like reading and theatre. This is a wonderful place to grab a drink and a pastry and enjoy a good read. People are kind and creative, artistic vibes of artists that live and wanna make it in the city. The brewed coffee is not my favorite but there is a variety of options.

This was part of our book store trip around the city of NY. This was the first bookstore we visited. Although I was a bit let down by their collection no book shop can have everything you would want. They have a beautiful sculpture of books which goes around the entire shop. The people at the shop were very helpful.

Cool place for drama theme-specific collections. Great vibe! Awesome coffee shop with a cozy/unique seating area

The Drama Book Shop opened in its current home on West 39th Street in 2020 under new ownership of long time friends and patrons of the bookstore Thomas Kail and Lin-Manuel Miranda, along with Jeffrey Seller and James L. Nederlander.
