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.

Giant dinosaurs. And the rest of the museum is great if you also like giant whales and outer space and especially the life size dioramas of animals and cave people, which might be the very best Art in all of the city. Sigh.

This is a tiny street with a lot of character and can be often missed. I love the little brick houses and coloring of the street.

It’s a great bookstore with an interesting yet relatable selection of art books 

Their coffee—all brewed from carefully sourced Nicaraguan beans—is truly delicious.
