Smaller version of their flagship. Good selection of books. Not too crowded most times. Can be a bit more pricey than alternative stores. 2 floors to check out books. Great location to explore and enjoy.
Their “blind date with a book” suggestions were SO good. I’ve never done one before and the recommendation was amazing, plus the art was so good I decided to keep the cover :)
Lovely place close to American Museum of Natural history in Newyork; books, stationery, magnets, crafting and gifting paper, stickers, plushies and what not. Beautiful place where one can spend hours, just browsing!
The Strand is a nice neighborhood store. My children enjoyed shopping there. Downstairs was amazing. There were a lot of little gifts ideas for big kids and little ones.

We would …

Great bookstore. Hope it can thrive in this environment. Even though B&N is just a few blocks away (and I love B&N), the Strand has its own unique vibe and there’s always something to discover. It’s a much smaller store than BnN, but that can be a bonus for those who prefer a relatively compact and dense browsing experience. And …
** PLEASE LIKE & SHARE OUR REVIEWS. ** Charming place with tourist items, bestsellers, new editions & an entire basement for children. Looks small and quaint on the outside but never-ending coves.. The modern style displays keep the environment cozy but not over-crowded. Feels like an exploration of all things literary!
The Strand is really cool because it isn’t just one bookstore, there are multiple locations throughout Manhattan! I was so glad to find the storefront and explore indoors as it was super cold outside and very cozy inside. The staff were super sweet and helpful. I paroozed around and ended up with some really cool souvenirs. They have a coffee …
