Michele is back today to share a fun day!
*****************************************************************************
As a belated anniversary and birthday gift, my husband planned a NYC bookstore tour for us. Nine miles and many hours later, we had visited 8 different stores:
The Corner Bookstore – a small store with a surprisingly nice selection.
Albertine – a bookstore nestled in a historic building that mostly caters to French language books.
McNally Jackson – probably my favorite of the day! It was large and bright and had a wonderful selection.
Book Off – a used bookstore that also has a large selection of used video games, CDs and DVDs.
Kinokuniya – A large bookstore with an entire floor dedicated to Japanese books, stationary and other goods.
Alabaster Bookshop – another used bookstore with a focus on rare books.
Our last two stops were Strand and Barnes & Noble Union Square, both pretty popular NYC destinations.
Our haul included a few books for me and a few for our daughter!
What are some of your favorite bookstores?
Oh my! What a fun time you had. I'd love to do that because one of my favorite things when we travel is visiting local bookstores. Glad you got to do this and thanks for sharing it with us.
