Three floors of books in every possible genre. Quiet and not crowded . Starbucks on one of the floors. Also pretty good selection of vinyls .

ImSo_Brooklyn

This barnes and nobles is about 4 floors! Starbucks is in the 4th floor I think. Have a great selection of books , new releases. Typical Barnes n nobles just bigger!

BlackStar Studios

The biggest B&N in the city with a good selection of gaming and roleplaying books . More than a few Pathfinder supplements, but be sure and ask them to carry more!

N Martin

Love this space .... you can sit in the Cafe if your snacking on something and all the way upstairs if you are not

Ariel Viera

This is one of the few remaining massive bookstores in the city , and it's a literary wonderland. Go here without any book in mind, just pick one up and start reading.

AlAnoud A AlGhunaim

Always pleasant, staff is friendly and responsive. There are plenty of smaller bookstores and local bookstores nearby but for a specialized & very organized big box bookstore , it’s the answer✨

Marco Sousa

Awesome big store. An entire Nook section and lots of cool geek stuff upstairs too.. including vinyl toys , POP figures, etc.

ANA t

I like the variety of magazines and i wish to provide more books on history, semantics, stylistics , astrology , sociology and psychology. also seating places for reading. the staff needs to be helpful

Matthew Caldecutt

Stop by the cafe should you need a place to work in between meetings and chuckle when they tell you that they serve Starbucks coffee and don't accept Starbucks cards.

Tim Lee

Starbucks on the third floor. It’s a huge store and the kids books area on the second floor is fantastic.

Maya Akra

My fav spot in all New York City . First time I visited was in 2019 and coming back to it is just fascinating. You got all books you need & you can work in the Starbucks on the third floor. Best office

Jen

Great place to camp out for an hour (or more) reading books . Grab some coffee at the Starbucks cafe inside and head up to the fourth floor for the reading section.

AlAnoud A AlGhunaim

Heaven♥️ The amount of books they hold is magnificent as usual, whatever you’re looking for you’ll find♥️

Aniruddha Mandke

Books & books . You'll end up finding most books . Kids section is pretty good & well equipped with learning material.

David Newman

Find my book , Do It! Marketing and then grab a coffee . Sit, read, enjoy, make a ton of money as an entrepreneur. Then you can sit in bookstores whenever you feel like it =)

Jeff Mack

The biggest bookstore in New York that I know. They always have what I'm looking for plus there's a Starbucks on the top floor.

Gennady Pritsker

The SAT / ACT section on the second floor is a pretty quiet place . The wooden chairs towards the back of the store are usually all full; a good place to harvest phone numbers, though.

Tom

Massive bookstore but still very charming. Public restroom room is on the second floor. There’s a cafe serving Starbucks coffee with Free WiFi .

Kimmie Ohh

This is store has 3 floors. The little cafe is on the top floor & the bathrooms are on the second floor. Become a member to get deals on books .

Paul Fraites

Tons of books and goodies. You might go in for only a book but I bet anything that you will leave with about 4 books from the bargain section.

Adrianna Grężak

I love coming here to browse the tables and staff suggestions - like what you'd find in an independent bookshop . They support small presses too.

Jesse Lane

My happy place. Staff members are super responsive and helpful

After purchasing your favorite coffee beverage, go straight to the job and career book section. Read up on how to make the best impression, but remember, practice makes perfect.

Rick Sayre

now that it's fall there are a lot of big events planned - when the 4th floor is shut down, ask at the 3rd floor for the book you need - someone will bring it down for you!

Pamela Packer

This is the original (aka first) Barnes and Noble. Sells vinyl records in front. Fantastic appearances by authors and politicians like Elizabeth Warren! (March 2015).

Karolina Cunneely

Love this bookstore . Such a big location with a great variety of books and generally really awesome book signings and events .

Jisu P

This is my favorite Barnes and noble! It's huge! You can always go read your new book right across the street at Union Square Park .

Brian Grogan Jr.

Four floors of books , gadgets, and toys . One of my favorite spots for a quiet afternoon of book browsing.

Ms Helene

Book signings and bands perform on the top floor stage. The Polyphonic Spree were here recently. Sound was great if a bit loud .

VideoDanceTV

Check out Prana Power Yoga just down the street from B&N at 862 Broadway, 2nd Floor. HOT yoga classes for all levels. Check out Hour of Power, Prana to Music , and Candlelight Flow classes !

Marc S

Backyard Rocket Kit. Bargain section. For everyone in Manhattan with a back yard . Seriously.

Brent Caswell

Good break from the heat or cold. Large store that has pretty much any book or magazine you could want. Bathrooms !

Lex B

Arguably the best B & N to browse at, but the cafe - full of freeloaders and unsmiling employees, isn't fun to have a cup of coffee at.

Stephenie Dimakopoulos

One of my top 5 favorite stores. They always have the books I'm looking for, they're very organized , and it's just so peaceful in here.

Compass

As one of the largest book sellers in the city , Barnes & Noble is known for its excellent lecture series, classes , and well-stocked shelves.

Salih Seckin Sevinc

It's heaven. You'll not only find books but also inspiration.

One Coin

One of the best barnes and nobles I have ever been to. Really great selection of all types of books here!

Will Harahan

They have great events here but be prepared to arrive early to get decent seats.

nancita jones

Check clearance sections. Sometimes you'll find a gem or two.

Deep Gujral

They usually have a phenomenal selection of books on the 3rd floor (bargain book section):

ju ju

this beloved bookstore lives in our hearts! it shall live forever! democratic and still beautiful! long live Barnes and Noble!!!!

Richard D.

Great for people who want to use the wifi , eat and have coffee - not so great for those who are looking for a book that isn't on a best sellers list.

Afi Yellow-Duke

Good place to go if the Strand makes you nervous or something. There's free WiFi and decent pastries upstairs too.

The lady working in the children's department is SO mean. This is the second time I've gotten yelled at by her, for something that could've easily been asked (i.e. move your stroller).

Madeline McDavid

Pretty good selection of DVDs and Blu-Ray films including a vast array of criterion collection editions. Frequent sales.

Jay Sekulow

This Barnes & Noble is one of my favorites in all of NYC. There are so many books here to choose from!

Jenn Schwartz

The ultimate place to catch a moment of peace (or a celebrity book signing ) in the city . 📖
