Lucy's experience in New York City
shop
Strand Book Store
A now infamous independent bookstore, The Strand is a mandatory cultural stop for any book lover. Family owned since 1927 and in an area of the city that used to be known as Book Row, this bookstore measures their merchandise by the mile - they’re at 18 miles of used and new books so far. The collection is endlessly immersing to sift through, from the dollar carts set up outside the store, to the rare and signed books for sale inside. The space also hosts literary events, and they have lots of fun and unique souvenirs for sale. #free #culture #history #bookstore #nyhistory
