Put on your comfortable shoes, because today we’re talking about our perfect bookish NYC days, and these days are going to guarantee that we get our steps in! Also, naturally, the conversation eventually devolves into the best NYC day, bookish or not, and then: where you should be getting dessert. Chaos! We have all the specific bookstore websites we mentioned included below, but let us know if you’re down for a little bookstore crawl with us or from afar, because we really want to do this now.
