“The girl at customer service was very helpful, and the store is beautiful! Well organized and plenty of book and genres choices. They also have a great cafe for food and coffee, eith some seating outside.”
“Have loved this store my whole life. The owner is a gem and is not only extremely knowledgeable and just a quintessential book lover, he was always very kind to my daughter (even played chess with her when she was younger). And there’s a great selection with great prices!”
“Absolutely love this bookstore and their ‘Blind Date with a Book’ idea — it makes such a unique and thoughtful gift. My girlfriend loves to read, and we’ve visited twice now. Both times, the staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and more than willing to help us find what we needed. You can really tell they care about creating a great experience. Definitely a place we’ll keep coming back to”
“This independent Black owned and Black author focused bookshop and cultural center is amazing. Come to check out a poet's book launch and stay to brouse the meticulously curated collection of books. You won't be disappointed.”
“Friendly staff, bright, clean, organized. Found exactly what I was looking for, which was the most updated large hardcover version of the dictionary. I want my kids to have access to a true old-style dictionary in addition to looking up words online. My teenage daughter also found a couple novels she wants to read.”
“Appreciate this store a lot - I emailed them to check on a book and shortly after received a response, which is somewhat rare. They didn’t have it in stock but ordered it for me and I was able to pick it up a few days later. I will be back :)”
“Sometimes you don’t need endless choices or big shiny stores. Sometimes you just want something real.
This is one of those authentic local shops that truly deserves support. It’s a neighborhood staple with heart, character, and a genuine purpose behind it. You can feel that this place matters — not just for business, but for the community.
And if you’re shopping for kids? You’re in the right place. They have more than enough toys to make little faces light up.
Highly recommended if you value authenticity over hype and want your purchase to actually mean something.”
“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!”
“At the time I went it didnt seem as bustling as the one close to times Square of course but it was really nice I enjoyed going and the little shopping center over all...perfect place to pick up a Manga and sit outside to read and enjoy the scenery on a nice day”
“My favorite bookstore! They had a great selection and everything is organized is very well. It doesn't feel overwhelming when you step inside like some other places. Even if I'm not purchasing book, I love to just go in and walk around! If they don't have the book you're looking for, they'll order it for you and they typically come in by the following week. Huge fan of this place, I always recommend it when people are looking for a bookstore!”
“Great bookstore . The owners offer a wide variety of books on all subjects and what I really like is that they have an incredible knowledge of almost everything in the store !! I've been going there for years and I plan to keep coming back.”
“Great and helpful staff. As a baalat Teshuva i’ve been to this store many times to buy a siddur and Chumash. They were one of the only stores I’ve been to that had smaller versions of the edot haMizrach siddur(which i’ve been looking for, for a while)I’ve also purchased some other books from them, their selection of books is great and you can purchase other gifts(kippahs, childrens’ toys, etc) as well.”
“This bookstore has more books than most independent bookstores so be prepared to stay awhile. They also carry an assortment of other items like candles, cards, games, shirts, glasses, etc. Fun store!”
“A modest book shop with multiple shelves of Russian, English, Ukrainian, and Hebrew books, designed for a variety of children’s ages. As someone who’s newly learning Russian, this place was absolutely perfect for me.”
“Stopped by yesterday and had a great experience. The store was clean, well organized, and I ended up browsing longer than I planned.
Miguel was incredibly sweet and helpful. He made finding what I needed easy, was a pleasure to talk to, made the whole visit better. I'll definitely be back!”
“The Columbia University bookstore is generally well-maintained and a great place to buy souvenirs (for non-Columbia students). The campus blends in suitably with the urban New York setting. Another review mentioned coming in for the air conditioning. It's true - I honestly did that too.”
“I love the selection of books and the personalized service from Sarah. She helps me identify books for gift giving season and for my own personal interests when I travel. I would much rather shop with her than use the big chains! So worth it!”
“Just moved to North Riverdale. Larger store. Larger selection and large parking lot too. I’m so glad we have this brick and mortar, it’s family owned. Couldn’t be happier.”
“A beautiful, serene campus, with beauty and architectural style in a park-like setting, situated in the middle of the Bronx!! I haven’t attended classes here, but it’s reputation precedes itself!Division 1 NCAA sports and a gorgeous stadium!The Gabelli business school seemed to be very well equipped with Bloomberg terminals and a seemingly state of the art facility! Overall my impression of the school was very impressive.”

“We live in walking distance and really love this Diner. The price point may be slightly higher than your average Diner but in my opinion, most things are worth it. One of my favorite things on the menu is the Corfu salad, but all the salads are great. They use Pat LaFrieda meats which is probably why their hamburgers are so great. Friendly staff and management help to make every visit pleasurable. If you haven't tried them out, I would highly recommend you give them a go.”

“I loved going to artbox when I was in Korea so I was really excited to see one in the states now! It's a small shop but they have a nice selection of cute goods and kawaii stationary with nice prices!”
“Their kids' books like Brainiacs' Gross-Outs and Secret Agents are so funny and cleverly educational! Thank you, Ruth Cullen! PS Thanks for the little black books, Ruth Cullen!”
“Our go to for books and gifts. Large kids area downstairs that has everything from books segregated by age group to wide variety of games, puzzles, toys, figurine etc. need a quick birthday gift - go to book culture.”
“This store has some K-pop, Korean skincare, cute cultural traditional trinkets, and flowers which I got as gifts.
The gentleman went above and beyond to help me find the greeting cards that I wanted and books for my children. They have lots of Korean inspired items that are not available online. Jane who works on Saturday afternoon is very kind and helpful English speakers.
I’m glad to see that bookstores like this are still around. I like to shop in person.”
“I love this little bookstore! It’s a perfect one-stop shop right on Columbia University Irving Medical Center’s campus. I came here initially to buy study supplies, a reference book, and Columbia gear. I walked away with everything I needed! On an additional trip, I grabbed a birthday card for a friend and a book for leisure-reading. Super easy to find what I needed! Another plus: the staff here are very nice and were helpful during each of my visits. I will definitely be returning!”
“We have used Main Street books at our school for 6 years. They are amazing! The book selection is far superior to any of the national book fair companies. The customer service is outstanding! I love that I got to know them - Cindy is fantastic!!! The commission paid to our school is also higher than the usual company you see at the schools, but it's not about the funds - it's about introducing kids to great books and no one does it better!”
“Great bookstore in Yonkers.
There is nothing like walking into barnes and noble and smelling all of the new books !
This is a large clean and well laid out location with a Starbucks inside the store.
They have a large magazine selection and every genre of book you can imagine.
They have a nice section of media and toys as well.
There is nothing better than picking out a new book and losing yourself in the pages.
If you need a new book stop by barnes and noble.”
