I like my street because there's always some character strolling down it like so.

A good flat white is hard to find but this is one place in NYC that has coffee that tastes like it does back in New Zealand.

For art books, monographs and catalogs new and used at a discount. I can never manage to leave here without a bag full of books in tow.

My favorite place on Bedford Avenue, this bookstore has both new and used titles. If you're patient and look close enough, you can usually find a book that's worth more than they're asking. Not to mention their stellar selection of magazine titles. Good for design, art, photography, sociology, fiction, and everything in between.

My favorite coffee ever in NYC ! The first place I went when I lived in Brooklyn. The music is perfect, food is excellent. Definitely the perfect spot to read a book on sunday morning and a good work place for freelancers.
