New York SoHo | McNally Jackson Books (1)π
McNally Jackson is an independent bookstore with several branches. I visited the one in SoHo over the weekend. πΈπ The space is bright, clean, and inviting, with a cozy mezzanine. There are small stools scattered around for people to sit and read. At the entrance, I saw some small-format covers with casual illustrations. πΈπ I thought they were self-published works until I took a closer look and realized they were from "The Paris Review." Having only read the digital version before, it felt like meeting an online friend in person. Walking into an independent bookstore, my favorite part is always the Staff Picks and the new releases and bestsellers in different sections. πΈπYou can get a sense of the bookstore's taste and stance, whether it's pandering to the mainstream or not. #NewYorkIndependentBookstores #IndependentBookstores ππ
