New York City is a paradise for the bookish if you know where to look! Tourists and locals alike can enjoy these literary landmarks.
The Strand
Located at the corner of Broadway and E12th, The Strand has been New York City's legendary home of 18 miles of new, used and rare books since 1927.
The New York Public Library
Opened in 1911, the New York Public Library is a must-see for anyone who loves history, architecture, and (of course) books. Take advantage of the free exhibits and visit the gift shop for bookish buys.
The Library Hotel
Inspired by and organized using the Dewey Decimal system, guestrooms at the Library Hotel contain unique collections of books and art. Besides containing over 6,000 books, the hotel boasts a reading room and a rooftop that houses a Writer's Den, Poetry Garden, and Bookmarks Lounge — which serves literary-themed drinks.
The Morgan Library & Museum
Once the personal library of Pierpont Morgan, the Morgan Library & Museum houses a collection of illuminated, literary, and historical manuscripts, early printed books, and old master drawings and prints collected by Morgan as early as 1890.
