"McNally Jackson is a downtown Mecca for book lovers, including passersby Nicole Hokayem, Rachael Yaeger, Katy Hallowell, and Laura Brown. Offering 20% off on current “indie bestsellers” (and 10% off picks from their well-read staff), you can still get a good deal while supporting one of the city’s last independent bookstores. They also carry an impressive selection of magazines and literary journals that you can flip through in their café. McNally’s event calendar is packed with appearances and readings by authors like Zadie Smith and Chris Kraus, but they're perhaps best known for their in-store printing press and self-publishing services." - Passerbuys
"An old-fashioned place that emphasizes the importance of delving into a good book with no technological interruptions. You won't be logging into any social media platforms here, and the ambiance is perfect for an intimate conversation or getting lost in a new novel. Although this location is a bit on the smaller side, the layout is cozy and allows for escaping into your newest read." - Barrel

"The downtown Manhattan shop saw a small line of customers asking the front desk for Kitchen Confidential; it sold out of its stock on Friday but reported that 50 more copies were on the way to replenish inventory." - Daniela Galarza
"An independent bookstore that hosted a poet’s book launch and reading the author attended; nearby the author and a friend had oysters and a glass of Sauvignon Blanc before the event." - Paula Aceves, Adam Mazur
