Strand Bookstore
Author: Anothertravelguide.com0 COMMENTS
If, in the course of your wanderings through the streets of New York, you should happen to stumble upon a bookstore that seems likely to collapse under the sheer weight of books any minute now and then notice a small group of enthusiastic-looking characters rummaging through the stalls of literary treasures right there in the street - well, it's the Strand. Books new and old, all mixed together like in a bookshelf of an entire family clan. The motto of the bookstore, opened in 1927, is: 18 miles of books. The fact is, in real life it's probably all twenty miles by now. The shop has four floors with a special "art department" on the top one. And, as it has been aptly pointed out by a New York city guide, the diversity of customers is by far greater than in the New York subway.
828 Broadway (at East 12th Street)
