Best Booking Coup
Award Winner 2009

Description

Frequented by writers like Art Spiegelman and Rick Moody, this library-esque used bookstore (mahogany wood, spiral staircases, and a 40-foot-high ceiling) counterbalances its grandness with reasonable prices. Proceeds go to homeless New Yorkers with AIDS.

SUGAR & SPICE
