Mercer Street Books & Records

Welcome to my completely unorganized but oh-so-helpful map of New York City! An absolute smorgasbord of my own travels and research, suggestions from friends and strangers, and many treasures found along the way, this is where I compile all things NYC for my future trips and yours. Things I particularly love that you’ll find a lot of: ☕️ Coffee shops & bakeries 🌮 Local cuisine 🏛️ Museums of all kinds 🌳 Gardens & parks 🛏️ Boutique hotels 🍕 Small regional chains with good reputations All my guides in this category are $5 per 100 places included, but since I add to these constantly, you can lock down the lowest price today and gain a lifetime access!

I am a HUGE book lover and try to visit local book stores on all my travels. Here is a list of my favorites in NYC. There is a huge variety of options with a book store to fit almost every person, and I will be adding to it as I explore more!

Calling all bookstore lovers! This guide maps out over a dozen bookshops in Lower Manhattan neighborhoods*. This includes used and vintage bookshops as well as locally owned/independent bookstores. #ShopLocal #SupportSmallBusinesses *Soho, Noho, East Village, Union Square, Bowery, and Lower East Side
