...collections! It's a pretty big store.

Haven't been there since pre-covid, and even then not that recently.

I really like Barnes & Noble on 17th St Just north of Union Square Park. It has a couple of nooks & crannies besides the regular spaces. Also not since covid.

🤔 Bunch of places I still haven't returned to, or maaaybe once since covid. Got to remedy that. Thanks for a reminder!
