Greenwich Village

For over 100 years, this small area known as “The Village”, has been a Mecca to the creative and the rebellious. An artists' haven, and the east coast birthplace of the Beat scene, the 60’s counterculture, and the LGBT liberation, it’s tradition as an enclave of avant-garde and alternative culture started in the 19th century when small presses, art galleries, and experimental theater thrived. Later it maintained it's position as a center for forward-thinkers that have challenged the American culture with it’s role in hosting the first racially integrated night club, and the LGBT and anti-war movements. With it’s charming narrow streets, this is the best place for a day of walking and exploring the many interesting and diverse shops, food, bars, music, art and architecture.

New books, used books, rare books, out of print books… today, the Strand carries over 2.5 million of them. You can buy “books by the foot” to fill your library, rent them for sets, stage, or photo shots, or sell them your books for cash or store credit. The last of the Greenwich Village “book row”, it was named after the famous London street where all the publishers were located.
