Hands down my favorite book store in Brooklyn! They always have awesome events and really foster an awesome sense of community here in Dumbo!

From top shelf titles to celebrity speakers from Questlove to David Sedaris, the amphitheater-shaped venue is arguably the most buzzed-about bookshop in Brooklyn.
