πβ¨ One of New Yorkβs Most Beautiful Bookstores: Albertine β¨π
π Located within the historic Payne Whitney Mansion on Fifth Avenue, Albertine is not just a bookstore but a gateway to the world of French literature and art. It offers a rich collection of English and French books, especially rare art, design, and photography volumes, as well as French publisher works hard to find in the US market and some charming books. πͺ Stepping into the bookstore feels like entering a French literary sanctuary. The second-floor starry ceiling is truly breathtaking. Climbing the stairs to the semi-open attic on the second floor, selecting a good book among the walls of books, and immersing yourself in the quiet reading atmosphere is undoubtedly one of the best cultural experiences in Manhattan. π° After exploring the bookstore, a three-minute walk brings you to Lady M, where you can enjoy a classic French mille-feuille cake, take a break, and perfectly conclude this literary journey. #NewYork #NYCExploration #NYCBookstore #Bookstore #MostBeautifulBookstore #NYCLife
