bluestockings cooperative

"New York's only queer, trans AND sex worker run bookstore" had the pleasure of visiting Bluestockings on a recent excursion to the city, and it will have a place in my heart forever. the selection is incredible, with a great deal of curation and incredible workers who can help you find or pick whatever catches your fancy. this is to say NOTHING of the incredible services they provide, like narcan training!

nyc bookstores!

For new books: McNally Jackson (kinda an obvious choice, always a really good selection, Soho & Williamsburg locations) Greenlight Bookstore (my local new books bookstore, where I go most often, Fort Greene BK) For used books: Housing Works Bookstore (some great finds here, housing works is a nonprofit that fights AIDS and homelessness, they mostly have thrift stores but also this 1 used book shop!) The Strand (another obvious one but I go here so often too tbh) Unnameable Books (many people have said this already but want to +1 it! my local shop!)

tiny coffee shops

like you feel uncomfortable wearing a backpack because you will probably hit other people and/or a counter and/or the wall every time you turn. the difference between the line of people waiting to order and the cluster of people waiting for their drinks needs to be extremely unclear

i think the main reason ive been able to keep up a relationship with my friends from home is that we play dungeons and dragons together. even when we're all busy and end up not playing for like 2 months, having those semi-regular calls is huge. also, having that common touch-point of the game and our characters is great while our lives and other interests are going in different directions. ofc this is probably only applicable if you and your friends are nerds
