Housing Works Bookstore

On the Grid : Housing Works

"One of the best Housing Works stores in the city, the Soho location lives up to all the flagship stores surrounding it. The selection here is more curated than other Housing works, and the stock turn around is fairly quick. Always worth a browse to find vintage treasures at a steal." - Julia Guo

On the Grid : Housing Works Bookstore Cafe

"A downtown institution for literary lovers. Housing Works has played host to friends meeting, dates, weddings and more than a few perfect afternoons with a cup of coffee and your favorite page turner. Not to be missed." - Visualized

"100% of the proceeds from this popular used bookstore go to its very worthwhile charity that provides housing for those in need (if you're looking to unload your bookshelves, bring donations here). Twice a month, the store hosts the popular Moth Storytelling Series, which is worth lining up for. The gorgeous space, lined with dark wood shelves, is also available for wedding rentals. There are Housing Works thrift shops that sell furniture scattered across the city."
