The Café at Books & Books
There’s nothing like the smell of a just cracked new book along with your grilled cheese or tuna melt, which is why this indie bookstore café is one of our favorites. Grab a book, a magazine (they still have those!), and a seat in the alfresco courtyard and sit as long as you want over a glass of wine, a cup of coffee or one of their many salads, sandwiches, wraps and sweets. It’s a welcome respite from the city’s mindnumbingly high-end vapidity. Plus, you never know who you’ll see here, as this remains a literati’s living room, a real, well read, well fed spot, indeed.
