independent bookstore shopping in new york city 📚 (nyc vlog)

[morganjustine]

Jack!! I’m a student and one of my professors has a nonprofit bookstore in Hoboken, NJ. It’s called Symposia Community Book Store. My professor and his wife sell used books and use the store as a community center. Years ago, my professor would give puppet shows to children there. Just an idea for a fun little trek outside of NYC :)

1:36 recognizing Jack’s bravery of leaving the house with less than 20% phone battery and is still listening to music 🙌🏻

I love how Jack acknowledges Translating Authors and Independent Bookstores. I haven’t been to an Independent Bookstore in ages.

also if you like Japanese Lit, I highly recommend visiting Books Kinokuniya in Bryant Park. Its a haven of Asian literature, as well as an upper floor dedicated entirely to Manga!

Independent bookshops just hit different, they seems so cozy and welcoming

This reminds me of a wedding I went to recently. I was a bridesmaid and told to be at the venue and ready by 1pm. I was and I was the only one ready. I got bored and went across the street in my bridesmaid dress to a small indie bookstore. May have been the highlight of the trip. 😂

[daiiisy]

I love watching your nyc bookstore adventures

Super curious: How will you take all the books you've bought in NY back to the UK? Or are you staying there indefinitely? I'm over here guessing the amount of suitcases

[abbiemarsden]

being blessed by all these videos Jack!!

You're making me very nostalgic. I just found my copy of Beezus and Ramona from the NYC Society Library that my Mom got me at a library sale. We would hang out there all the time after school upstairs. It was so cozy! I miss it.

I actually saw The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida in a bookstore not too long ago and thought it sounded (and looked) really interesting, but then I was like, dear me, I am already currently reading more than five books simultaneously, I can wait for Christmas for more.

Jack, I'm living vicariously through your vlogs, I love them so much! Keep up the good work💕

Why do schoolwork when Jack has posted riddle me that?

[jarmonaaa]

Ugh I’m so jealous😔 I literally live in a city that has absolutely no bookstores in it and seeing how many you went to makes me soooo envious

Left Bank Books in Greenwich Village is an interesting book store if you haven’t already been. Astoria Bookshop in Astoria (Queens) is also a lovely independent shop within walking distance from the Museum of the Moving Image, which you might also enjoy. Enjoy your time in NY!
