St. Mark's Bookshop is a
St. Mark's Bookshop is a must in any trip to NYC. Their front table of art books is worth coming in the door, they have a very deep lit journal and magazine section, and their selections throughout the store are obviously chosen with care.
Also, above the store is a great Japanese grocery, so pick up some Pocky afterward.
And, of course, another point in their favor: they carry our zine, LCRW!

Venerable indie bookstore founded in 1977 is still one of the best of its kind in the world. A small space but elegantly laid out and brimming with poetry, fiction, indie press offerings, obscure magazines, titles on pop culture, philosophy, critical theory, and so on. Hand-selected titles on display in front give a taste of the store's philosophy: lots of graphic design, street art, and literary periodicals. Funky-cool intersection of downtown aesthetic and highbrow culture. The staff are predictably a bit on the sniffy side but not intolerably so. The Mikeroscope and friends like to stop here and browse, late, before heading to Veselka and the Village.
