"In Soho, Bibliotheque — founded by Dr. Andrew Jacono and his son — operates as an all-day-and-night bookstore bar where remote workers type away surrounded by books for sale; I noticed it can be hard to find a free seat until happy hour, when a no-computers policy is enforced, and evenings relax into bookish wine service (including an orange pinot gris blend from Santa Barbara) with an extensive tinned fish selection for easy, one-handed snacking." - Melissa Kravitz Hoeffner
"Bibliotheque is a bookstore, bar, and cafe in Soho, ostensibly for people who like to read, or at least be in the vicinity of the written word. In the front, there is a hybrid coffee/booze bar where people hold court with laptops during the day. By evening, a scene forms inside the back lounge, where you’ll find couches and cocktail tables surrounded by tall, imposing shelves of shiny new novels, and self-help books. No one is reading them. Soho’s best-dressed come here to drink wine and eat charcuterie under high ceilings and sparkling chandeliers, in a room that looks like the home library of someone with a roman numeral in their name. Yeah, it’s kind of annoying, but it’s also an undeniably gorgeous space to take a date for a drink. You can both buy that new Murakami and pretend you’re actually going to read it." - Neha Talreja
"A bookstore plus wine bar and cafe from Dr. Andrew Jacono and his son AJ that serves food from Daniel Boulud’s Epicerie Boulud and bottles of wine ranging from about $58 to an eye-popping $13,450 for a 2000 Château Pétrus." - Emma Orlow
"If only there was a place where we could celebrate our passion for old dusty books and wine that costs more than an average rhinoplasty appointment. Oh wait, there is: Bibliotheque is a Soho wine bar, coffee shop, and bookstore that’s owned by a well-known plastic surgeon and his son. You can drink bottles of wines priced from $58 to $13,540 amongst stacks of books while contemplating lip fillers." - Will Hartman, Willa Moore
"I learned that celebrity plastic surgeon Dr. Andrew Jacono, who has treated clients like Marc Jacobs, is opening Bibliotheque in Soho with his son AJ Jacono as a combination bookstore, cafe, and wine bar; the cafe menu will include food from Daniel Boulud’s Epicerie Boulud, the team has already applied for a liquor license, and they plan to open sometime in the fall at 54 Mercer Street, near Broome Street." - Emma Orlow
