Strand is a castle of books. It claims 2.5 million new and used books, across 18 miles of shelves, cared for by 200 employees—so set aside a couple of hours. Plenty of art books and good prices. Get your healthy huff of that old book smell.

Serves as a special outdoor photoshoot-location! Great "natural" backdrop and good to have a walk around in the area as well!

Really great coffee and bread. 

All the pretty green things you need to lush out your apartment.

4 billion dollars later.... one of the most impressive Art&Design pieces in NYC.
