East Village, New York
"the store will make you question why you don't read more, and chances are you won't leave empty-handed" (Condé Nast Traveller)
The 3rd floor Rare Book Room is your quietest escape, especially when the main floors get hectic
Look for the dollar carts outside and the playful "Blind Date with a Book" wraps
The last survivor of 1927's Book Row, Strand packs 18 miles of new, used, and rare books across creaky wooden floors. Grab a coffee from Brooklyn Roasting Company and lose yourself in the stacks, or escape to the hushed Rare Book Room upstairs.
