Popped in on a whim and glad I did. Really nice selection of not-just-bestsellers. Great philosophy section, same for their poetry, literary nonfiction, and literary fiction section. They also had architecture, photography, memoir, and children's sections that I didn't have time to check out, unfortunately. Super friendly staff who clearly love books and are happy to recommend you a book if you can't choose (I left with 3 books, LOL).

CHELSEA, NY - What a cozy little haven in the midst of the bustling city! This charming bookstore may be small, but it offers a peaceful atmosphere and a delightful selection of books. After a long walk through the city, I found it quite lovely to take a break, sit down, and browse through some captivating titles. I even stumbled upon a book of poetry by Wislawa Szymborska, which I couldn't resist bringing home. I highly recommend stopping by to discover a new literary gem and to show your support for this wonderful space. . Despite its size, this bookstore boasts an impressive collection of books. Their curator clearly has impeccable taste, and the store serves the Chelsea community exceptionally well. It's truly a fabulous bookstore.

Literally my favorite bookstore in the city—I’ve been coming here for over ten years, and I always get the best recommendations. Highly recommend if you’re interested in literary fiction (especially in translation), poetry, and art books. Really good selection of urban planning / social theory, too!

A great neighborhood bookstore that has a great and well-curated selection of books. My favorite is that they have an entire table/section of translated works which are often of international acclaim but not to be found many places in the States. Friendly staff. Gorgeous building. Really a wonderful place to stop in.
