“This is your quintessential cute and local bookstore. They have great selection, kind and helpful staff, and just the laid back vibe you want when entering a bookstore. They even had a copy of the book I was looking for that was signed by the author (no extra cost)! Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“We love this woman owned shop. It is a magical place filled with beautiful, enchanting culture. Warmly greeted every time, we strongly encourage everyone to visit! There’s something special in this store for you. We highly recommend you check it out today!”

“This is my favorite bookstore in the area. Of course the selection is great, but what makes it stand out is the warm and friendly atmosphere and the staff that is not only so knowledgeable, but is so willing to help. They’re also willing to hang back if you just want to browse, but I love getting their recs.”

“An amazing old style real book store! They have a huge selection of used books and new best sellers arrive every day. The owners are extremely knowledgeable and offer excellent choices.

“Liz’s Book Bar is the chic, stylish cousin of the classic indie bookstore. Some bookstores lean a little gritty (which I can also love), but LBB is clean and polished while still feeling completely independent. People are friendly. I heard several people strike up conversations (with strangers, to be clear). At one point I overheard a woman recognize another woman from TikTok and they started chatting. That kind of thing felt very normal here.
I came in for a drink with a friend who lives in the neighborhood and it was such a great space that I ended up asking the owner if I could host my discussion group (20-40 people depending on the night). A couple months later I held my Sad Rich Girl Salon at LBB and it was wonderful. The staff was so helpful and warm. Gave us mics. Cleared the floor and setup chairs. (Honestly, this event was better run than several of my “official” tour stops arranged by my publishing team.)
There was also a really cute moment where I met a woman who follows me on IG and had read my book and just happened to be at LBB that night (total coincidence). She bought a copy for her friend and asked me to sign it. it was one of those serendipitous moments that happen all the time in nyc but still feels so movie-like.
Added bonus: LBB sold out my book for the event
I only wish I lived closer because I’d be here all the time.”
“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!”
“Great variety of books across genres and geography. Very good selection for Arab Heritage Month, although I wish it was downstairs, closer to the main foot traffic.”
“i could get lost walking along these shelves. there's such variety, and each section blends so well with each other; even the staircase has a shelf lined with books! the space is a lot larger than it seems from the outside, and super cozy. the staff is also super nice. i didn't find any bargain book section, but the general selection was extremely vast and there was a cool vintage books section in the back!”

“Very nice customer service very impressed happy place and beautiful store the outside doesn't do it justice once you get to the basement it's really nice”
“Small business that is amazing. If you don't know what you want when you go in, they will absolutely help you... There's something for everyone in this little shop. Also has a ton of book signings every year!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Not only is this place a great self care and gift shop, This Business Thrives at being the helm of all things cultural and health and wellness related. The calender of events is full of fun , empowering and unique events. Nicholas Brooklyn Should be added as a must vist for tourist when visiting New york City. Because of the variety of unique items as well as their events.”
“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.”
“One of the most beautiful bookstores in New York City. It's previous location on 5th Avenue was memorialized in the movie Falling in Love with Meryl Streep and Robert de Niro.”

“I am grateful Jersey City has this amazing bookstore! I especially appreciate the personalized efforts they put to ensure you receive the book you ordered. And honestly people shouldn’t complain about the prices. This is the type of entitlement that has put us in a situation where we have only one quality bookstore in Jersey City. Wear the old coat and buy the new book!”
“Love this book store!! I take my kids there. It's amazing to see them in awe at all the kids books with characters the look like them! The owners are incredibly nice and helpful.”
“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.”

“Astoria Bookshop is tucked away off the main drag and that only makes it more perfect. The shop is loaded with current best sellers, kids books & cute notebooks, bookmarks and cards. They even had some signed copies of books that were great to see. The ladies were so friendly and sweet. I had my dog with me and they were so excited to see her and offered her treats and pets. Checked out the shops Instagram where they have all their events & happenings. I also picked up my next read and I'll definitely go back there for more books and tosupport this great shop!”
“Topos added its tables and chairs back to the interior after a while without them, and it's back to being a relaxing afternoon hangout spot where you can plop down with a book and coffee”
“Ordered from their online store and received the package to my door in just a few days. Great prices and cordial service, most likely becoming my go-to seforim store. Thank you!”

“I just love this bookstore... because it's more than a bookstore... it's a place where you can go and get lost in time and space, and connect with another world. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the staff is very friendly and people go there sometimes just to hang around or socialize...or find peace and quiet in a busy and troubled world. This is a place where you can feel the sense of the community and feel like you are part of it.... it's a place where you can feel the magic of books coming alive. It's a place where you can find books, volunteer, attend a puppet show, an art or a yoga event, or even a birthday party. So give it a try and you will be happy you did.”
