Beautiful place, so cute. Full of gay themes books. From art to history. The employee was very helpful and friendly providing reading material about it's location and the art exposition that was been exposed. Besides selling an extended variety of books they sell art pieces as well. Great place to look for a great new book or art piece. Totally recommend it, lovely place. Got a Tom of Finland book today and I love it. Keep up the good job guys.

Love the wide selection of queer art and books. It made me feel seen and inspired. This will be a go-to spot anytime I visit NYC. 🤗

Such a hidden gem. One of the best LGBT bookstores in NYC and on the east coast. Really great selection that is updated often. Everyone who works there is very kind and welcoming. Make sure to check out their events!

This book store already has limited hours, 6 hours 5 days a week. I went on Sunday when it should have been open. The receptionist at the ground floor said it was closed for today. If they have enough staff to tell customers that the store is closed, they should update it on Google maps too.
