I read a lot. There's nothing I love more than a rainy day and to be snuggled up with a good book inside. Other than that, there's nothing I love more than browsing for books for that very occasion. New York City has some great bookstores. Below are ...

Probably the most iconic bookstore in New York
Strand Book Store - Strand Books
It's so good even Harry Styles shopped here. Plus, if you'd like some pickles to go along with your book, you're in the right place.
Sweet Pickle Books
My favourite second-hand bookstore in New York
Mercer Street Books For Better Used Books & Vinyl - NYC
Another used bookstore, but with a small and mighty collection!
Alabaster Bookshop
The best at recommending books for any niche/interest
Three Lives & Company
They have many spots around the city now, so will have anything you're looking for
McNally Jackson Books SoHo
Famous for being in Taylor Swift's music video, but a great bookstore
Housing Works Bookstore
A bookstore with a very cool ceiling
Albertine
The location of this bookstore is my favourite - check out if you're in the Upper East Side
The Corner Bookstore
A bookstore for a great cause!
Bluestockings Cooperative Bookstore
A small bookstore near Bowery/Lower East
Codex
I love this bookstore in TriBeCa! The staff here always have great recommendations too
Mysterious Book Shop

Rare and niche books are what you'll find in here
