The Corner Bookstore (NY)

Great selection of classic adult and children books. Great number of art books too. Very nice wrapping service during the holidays. The postcard selection could be better but overall it's a lovely store.

Literally spotted this gem while walking the streets and we both went “oh a corner bookstore” at the same time we realized that was the actual name. Great selection of bestsellers and genres ranging from art, history, drama, fiction… The doors were open and the store was welcoming. Staff was friendly and open to conversation!

This is one of the finest independent bookstores you’ll find anywhere in the world. The collection is expertly curated, everyone on staff is a bonafide bookworm and they’ll happily wrap your book in classy paper if you’re giving it as a gift. We shop here on purpose all year round.

Great first experience! I don’t remember the gentleman’s name but he pointed out quite a few books in the general was looking for and even brought a book from the back that wasn’t on the shelves yet. That was the book I got and it felt like a secret find! Will be back!
