    This bookstore was opened by a group of activists in the 90s, along with a number of thrift stores. All the books are donated and all profits go to Housing Works' lifesaving services. The venue hosts many LGBT+ events.

    There's also a cafe serving coffee, snacks and booze. It's a great place to read and chill.
