Lonely Planet review for Kramerbooks
With the Afterwords Café and bar behind the shop, this round-the-clock bookstore is as much a spot for schmoozing as for shopping. You can grab a meal, have a pint and flirt with comely strangers (the store is a fabled pick-up spot for straights and gays). This flagship independent – which leapt into First Amendment history when it firmly refused to release Lewinsky’s book-buying list to Starr’s snoops – features fine current literature, travel and politics sections.
