When I lived in NYC I worked at Columbia and would spend many lunch breaks browsing at Book Culture - such a gem in that neighborhood! This whole list is great, though. I miss NYC bookstores!
Thank you, Natalie! I’m headed to NYC this fall. We are taking my mom, who hasn’t been there since she was 16 (and she’s 78!). She is also a reader, and there will be bookstores on the itinerary. (On another topic, I read Very Sincerely Yours by Kerry Winfrey on your recommendation, and it was the most adorable book I’ve read - maybe ever. Thanks for that too!)
What a lovely list! I’ve heard of a few but there are several that are new to me that I have put on my must-visit list. If you’re reading British romance novels from several decades ago, may favorite is the great Judith McNaught.
That sounds like it could be the perfect combination of my two current reading moods, haha--older romance novels can be hit and miss for me but I do want to read more of the foundational texts of the genre.
Perfect timing! I've been to Community Bookstore once but didn't realize they had a garden, so I'll have to check that out the next time I'm in the neighborhood.

It's one of my favorite things about living here! A great place for browsing in every neighborhood.

That sounds like such a fun trip! And I'm so glad that you liked Very Sincerely Yours--it's absurdly cute.
