"New York's only queer, trans AND sex worker run bookstore"
had the pleasure of visiting Bluestockings on a recent excursion to the city, and it will have a place in my heart forever. the selection is incredible, with a great deal of curation and incredible workers who can help you find or pick whatever catches your fancy. this is to say NOTHING of the incredible services they provide, like narcan training!

idk if the OP always said “over 50 years old” and i just can’t read, but bluestockings does not fit this particular criteria at 25 years old… it IS nonetheless rad

For new books: McNally Jackson (kinda an obvious choice, always a really good selection, Soho & Williamsburg locations)
Greenlight Bookstore (my local new books bookstore, where I go most often, Fort Greene BK)
For used books: Housing Works Bookstore (some great finds here, housing works is a nonprofit that fights AIDS and homelessness, they mostly have thrift stores but also this 1 used book shop!) The Strand (another obvious one but I go here so often too tbh)
Unnameable Books (many people have said this already but want to +1 it! my local shop!)
