New York City is full of unique and beautiful bookstores all throughout the city. This guide will focus on four of the best bookstores in Manhattan to visit.

Rizzoli Bookstore

Address: 1133 Broadway

This bookstore has been around for over 50 years, which specializes in illustrated books on architecture, interior design, fashion, photography, cookery, and the fine and applied arts. At Rizzoli, you will also find frequent events happening in the store with various authors coming in to talk about their works. Be sure to check out Rizzoli Bookstore for more information about upcoming events.

Alabaster Bookshop

Address: 122 4th Ave

This is one of the smallest bookshops you will find in the area. The shelves are lined with a variety of used and rare books for your choosing. Outside of the shop, you will find several baskets filled with $2 books to browse(浏览) through in addition to everything else in the shop itself.

Housing Works Bookstore

Address: 126 Crosby Street

This bookstore is a different type of bookstore that you will come across in Manhattan. All books within the store have been donated, and the staff is almost made up of volunteers. The mission of Housing Works Bookstore is to end the crisis of homelessness, and the bookstore earnings are the main way in which it helps achieve that mission.

Strand Bookstore

Address: 828 Broadway at 12th Street

Within the Strand Bookstore, you will find over 2.5 million books covering a wide variety of topics. I have a hard time believing you won’t find a book that you want to bring home after visiting the store. And if you would like to sell some of your own books, Strand has a buying desk that is open from Thursday to Saturday (10AM-2PM).

When Sahana Vij was just five years old, her mother taught her how to make French toast, and together they volunteered at a shelter in Seattle, preparing soups and enchiladas (肉馅玉米卷饼) and serving meals to families in need. From then on, Vij has developed a passion for cooking.

Reflecting on her experiences, Vij, now an 18-year-old freshman at the University of California, Irvine, shared with PEOPLE, “Food is a major, big, important way to communicate with people.” That is exactly what motivated her to teach herself by experimenting with new recipes each week and preparing them for others, and still in high school, she authored her cookbook, Bake Away, which is available at several stores.
