Upper West Side
The Strand at Columbus Ave
Description
The original Strand Book Store, just off Union Square, has been open since 1927 and is still run by the family who founded it. This Upper West Side offshoot is smaller than its downtown counterpart but still sells every kind of new and used book imaginable, from novels to memoirs to kids’ titles to historical tomes.
