My favorite place to write. No wifi, but that makes it easier to concentrate and get things done.
CompassJuly 22, 2013As one of the most comprehensive independent bookstores in the city, McNally Jackson hosts speakers like Lena Dunham and Tavi Gevinson.
Grab some delicious coffee and browse the fabulous selection of international art and fashion magazines.
Wayne SurberFebruary 12, 2014Cool bookshop with a cafe and .25 cent bathroom. Soho richy riches though.
Michelle BDecember 23, 2011Great place to take a break from SoHo shopping. Small indie bookshop, cafe on top, bathroom down below.
The ideal, quiet spot to take a work break and grab an Arnold Palmer.
One of my favorite bookstores in the city, please support an author by shopping here. And let's not let bookstores die.
Aiah WiederJune 5, 2011One of only a handful of bookstores I have ever been in where the (eclectic) staff selections were ALL books I would read. Seriously.
CRUZiiiESeptember 29, 2011While I do love the cozy ambiance, many magazines are out of date & the food counter has uber dry cookies - bleh!
Nice little independent bookstore with a cute coffee shop inside.
Café has no wifi, no power outlets – perfect for closing yourself off from the world and just getting things done

Dan HolmMay 1, 2015At the very least stop by for the coffee, they serve Sightglass out of San Francisco
Ranjan RoyMay 1, 2012No working wifi, but atmosphere makes it the perfect place to read or write without 'net distractions (as I check in on 4square)
ben baileyFebruary 5, 2016Great bookstore (and check out it's sister stationery store a few blocks down!)
The friendly cafe brews Stumptown, and uses a great soy milk.
FlorAugust 25, 2012Beautiful bookstore... you can find here exclusive HANDMADE books... how cool is that?- The milk at their coffee bar is cow to table in 36 hours. That's insanely fresh.
Gagan RanaFebruary 23, 2013Favorite bookstore in the neighborhood. Grab a coffee and bagel at the cafe!
Jessie ChenApril 3, 2015One of the few quiet coffee places on a weekday morning. Or maybe I just get lucky?
Offers one of the most extensive collections of Spanish language books in Manhattan.
