Barnes & Noble

Beautiful store. Two spotlessly clean floors, with escalator or elevator up. Sit on the floor and read for hours; no one will object. Walk around to the dozens of sections and you can literally get lost. Thousands of books. Cafeteria with seating, and clean bathrooms available. Place has been here for many years, and hopefully for many years to come.

Spacious and beautiful branch of b&n! Clean, organized ans smells good! Ample of choices for books here. Cafe here serves starbucks coffees. See images for reference.

Love book stores which are virtually a relic of the past. A nice place to spend some time browsing titles. I was looking for books for our grandchildren. I noticed it was a draw for some neighborhood seniors as a place to cool off on a hot summer day while reading up on some titles.

Classic bookstore on the Upper West Side. Good selection of books in every category. I found what I was looking for. They have a small cafe in the second floor (left side). They are undergoing some constructions on the first floor but do not interfere the please of sitting on a chair and read one of their books in the quiet space of the second floor. The staff was friendly. Highly recommend!

Loved this place. A full of nostalgia. I came here almost after 12 years. Before Amazon it used to be go to place to buy books. I really loved that they’re still maintaining this place. I felt like the reflections of life before everything was accessible in internet.

An upper west side staple. Great selection of books and small gifts. Staff is always helpful and courteous. They have a small Starbucks cafe hidden on the second floor.

Love this store. Outstanding service. I was chasing special editions and I got excellent assistance in contacting nearby stores to reserve the books I needed. Great accessories department as well. Enjoy!

I absolutely love Barnes and Noble. They have so many cool things, and so many books, in a warm atmosphere. Some stores even have a coffee shop. The bathrooms are not always the best, but that's because people use them irresponsibly and make a mess, while also using them when not purchasing anything.
They have elevators in case you are in a wheelchair and need them. Very quirky stuff and cool totes, planners and cozy reading socks.

The dream of the 90s is alive here. Clean, spacious, and quiet. The second floor is huge with quite the selection. It's very well kept, and the prices are good with most books being on discount.
B&N went private in 2019 and I welcome this as being a local bookseller as much as the next place.

Great bookstore. Quiet, clean and well-maintained with plenty of armchairs tucked away in hidden corners. It’s a bit of a maze but that’s a good thing here.

Love the environment here! Great for whatever topic you may be looking for.

It always feels good visiting a Barnes & Noble store. They closed a few stores (closed the one where I live at least). This Barnes & Noble store is as good as any other one. It has 2 floors or you could say 2 and half? Books everywhere ☺ for every aspect of the life. The kids section is also vast and interesting for kids. They have games/toys too (boardgames, puzzles, LEGO etc).
They have something for everyone. Overall it's a great experience.

One of a dying breed. Love barnes and noble before they shut down. This is one of the few to keep the memory alive.

The place was clean, plenty of areas to sit and packed with great reads. Loved the seat by the windows to read with a view of nature. 🪟 Definitely a spot for creativity.

The store is closing January 14, 2024 so I went to buy books at a 50% discount. Not much left but still some good buys

great store, spacious, many sections well thought out and bonus coffee and food section upstairs. Looking for books in many categories, gifts for children and adults, many choices.

A beautiful bookstore with 2 floors and many different genres of book, they have their coffee shop upstairs too. I like this Barnes & Noble location better than the one in Union Squares.

This is one of my two favourite bookstores in the world. I personally like the support of the employees and their kindness. I feel so calm and excited every time i go there.

Barnes and Noble is a fantastic bookstore with an extensive selection of books, magazines, and other media. The store is well-organized, making it easy to find what you're looking for, and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with plenty of comfortable seating areas to relax and browse through your favorite books. Overall, Barnes and Noble is a great place to spend some time and discover new reads.

Again, love bookstores, cafes, libraries and museums. And NYC, Is a truly wonderful cultural center for all of them. We are so extremely fortunate, to have grown up in this labyrinth reservoir of knowledge.
This is another one of my favorite Barnes & Nobles, l completely agree with the other reviewer, who said "this place is huge ".
And I also have great appreciation, for the multiple-level high arches ceiling architecture. Reminiscent of an ancient mountain monastery, contemplation repository for absolute knowledge, enlightenment.
And the cafe, is a cozy enchanting enclave of an enclosure, secretly hidden, just below the mezzanine level.
Again the staff, for their tremendous guidance, is truly exceptional 💜💜💜
What's not to love/please like👍👍👍

Great spruce up by the CEO James Daunt and his team.
