Two floors of packed shelves hold a diverse selection of used books and vinyl records, many in excellent condition and reasonably priced. The space feels cozy and authentic, with a slightly dusty, chaotic charm that recalls old New York bookstores. Baroque and free jazz music plays softly, creating a calm, easygoing atmosphere favored by history buffs and art lovers alike.
