Barnes & Noble | Manhattan, NY

Lots and lots of books! 4 floors of book love, including a large children's section, which is biggest bookstore in Manhattan. Staff are very helpful and take the time to show you locations of books or help ordering online. The cafe is a little rough around the edges but had a plethora of pastry options and of course coffee and other drinks. Def worth a gander or two, or three‼️😎

I love taking a trip to Barnes & Noble. The staff is super friendly and happy to help. Got to have a very fun and just chill conversation with 1 staff member on the way out that even told us about a newly opened location that was closer to where we live for out convenience. The book selection is of course fantastic! Huge variety of books to suit anyone and everyone's taste.

I can’t remember the last time I was in a Barnes & Noble Bookstore but I stopped in for a coffee (and to get out of the bitter cold weather) at their NYC flagship store in Union Square. The gorgeous Queen Anne building was built in 1890 as a commercial building. It became a landmark in 1987 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1997. Unfortunately, it was vacant and derelict for many years until Barnes & Noble bought it in 1990 and renovated it. The café is a lovely open space, serve great coffee, and play serene, classical music.

this was my first time at this particular location and I brought my children with me and they enjoyed it. They are complete bookworms just like me. They had all of my toddlers favorite books and they were inexpensive. The staff is super nice and helpful.
