Great selection of clearance books on the sidewalk over the weekend.

Great kids play areas! Grab a drink in the cafe, a book on the way back, and let your little one play. Family fun for under $10!
The cafe is not a Starbucks but rather a B&N cafe that serves Starbucks drinks. A lot of their food comes from the Cupcake Factory! Yum!
If you need a plug bring a power strip. Only 2 outlets in the cafe, and random others on pillars around the store.
Excellent titles and witty labels. Worth stopping in just to look. Truly an original bookshop
This place oozes charm. From the oodles piles of paperbacks almost neatly lining the walls to the elderly cashier this place will not be soon forgotten. Your tab is also calculated by hand.
For a delightful surprise, be sure to open the cabinets in the kitchen and bathrooms.
Hidden gem a stone's throw from Howard: Great, creative selection of vegan and vegetarian friendly options. Killer outdoor seating. Awesome staff. Check it out.
Great Food, Good Conversation, Solid Prices.
