Book stores can be romantic, alone or with others. I generally go to the Union Square location, but lately I've been coming here with someone I met at this location (Awww.) . As far as the…

You'll need about an hour if you're going to browse here. The store is a New York City icon, however, this location is extremely messy. There's books that does not belong in their respective…

In ten years I could never bring myself to enter the Union Square store even once--long story, mainly having to do with an ancient joke between a friend and I, in re his allegation that it "smells…

Why do I come to this Strand? Instead of the other one? Because it's near Chinatown and plenty of knock-off purse stands. I am quite ashamed to admit that the last time I was in NYC, about three…

I love Strand. Tons of books at low prices. Even brand new releases can be found for $2-10 less than at a conventional bookstore. The staff might not greet you with a handshake and a pat on the back,…

This place is a great place to find books. I find that it's less crowded than the village counterpart, but it has less things available. It still is a great place to browse around.

I'll weigh in on the great strand argument, main store vs. Annex. I greatly prefer the annex. If you know exactly what you're looking for, shop online. As for browsing, the main store is too big and…

I came to the Annex before I ever went to the 'real' Strand, so it'll always have a place in my heart. It's smaller than the main store, but has the same kooky variety and great deals. I'm never down…

I don't like this strand. Interior is worse than a crappy library. The people working there are for the most part rude (as in Good Will/Salvation Army volunteer rude).

Its seems that Strands Annex Bookstore is a bit of an after thought. Its smaller than the original store, it placed on a weird portion of Fulton Street, and its blocked by scaffolding, so can't really…

I'm a fan of both Strands, but this one has a bigger heart. The crowds are not as daunting and the books not quite as dusty. One of Fulton Street's finest attractions.

If you live in New York City, you love the Strand. Chances are good, however, that you don't know about the annex way downtown unless you work or live there. The Strand Annex is better than the main…

Not quite as big as it's Union Square counterpart, but it's much less cramped and has a quieter environment. Other than the obviously smaller selection, it's every bit as good as the big Strand store.
