Strand Bookstore can boast almost a hundred-year history. Patty Smith and a crowd of artists and musicians used to work here. Do pay special attention on the departments dedicated to art and design occupying the second floor of the building. Outside the store second-hand books are sold for 1 dollar per item only. You might happen to find something precious there, such as a collection of vegetarian recipes or an issue on American architecture.
