A Hidden Gem Bookstore That Captures Your Heart at First Sight 🌟

Every time I visit the West Village, I always make a point to stop by this bookstore. 🌇 Three Lives & Co. is a small but perfectly charming bookstore that feels like a true community gem. 📚 The name comes from Gertrude Stein’s work “Three Lives,” and it was founded by three close friends who decided to open a bookstore together back in 1978. They’ve been going strong ever since! 🌿 The store has always had this classic black-and-red facade with warm lighting inside, making it feel like a cozy corner of an apartment filled with books. It’s incredibly welcoming. 🌟 It’s usually not crowded and never noisy. Most of the visitors are regulars, and it’s the perfect place to find a chair and lose yourself in a book for a while. They occasionally host book clubs or author signings too. 📚 What’s really special is that in 2023, they still insist on using handwritten orders. It adds a touch of old-world charm and tranquility. I love the peaceful atmosphere there, especially knowing that just one block away, you’re back in the hustle and bustle of New York. 🌟 📍 154 W 10th St, New York, NY 10014 #WeekendPlans #NoteInspiration 🌇
