Printed Matter—organizer of the NY and LA Art Book Fairs—is a non-profit supporting the work of artists and independent publishers through the circulation of their books. At their store in Chelsea, you can shop an insanely diverse selection of artists’ books, zines, posters, and more. They’re also always hosting awesome in-store exhibitions and events, from book launches and talks to lectures and performances.

If only places can speak...yet they have their own language with their texture, smell, vibe, mood...new york is waking up 

This Bookstore has an amazing photography section. I go here to get inspired. You can spend hours in here looking at all kinds of great photography books.

A still stunning space, harking back to the 1990s NYC that had fantastic, tasteful boutiques.

SITUATIONS is a contemporary art gallery in Manhattan that exhibits artists from the United States and abroad.
