This was a very beautiful bookstore! There are so many selections of books it is just wonderful. The staff is sooo nice and helpful. The Cafe is cute. I recommend this place to any book lover!
My husband and I rented out the McNally Jackson Seaport wine and coffee bar to host our wedding guests for pre-ceremony drinks last weekend, and it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding experience. Owner Sarah was receptive from the beginning, bookstore manager Roger was incredibly accommodating and friendly, and cafe manager Byron and his team executed so seamlessly. I heard so many positive comments from all of our guests, and the amazing aesthetic and feel of the bookstore wine bar was so complimentary to our wedding as a whole. If youre looking for private events hosting, I cant recommend the wine bar enough. This certainly exceeded our expectations.
How fantastic to have such an interestingly unique, independent bookstore still thriving so close to my daughters apartment at Pace University. We are SO lucky! We love this place. Highly recommended.
Great old-fashioned bookstore - the second floor is an absolute haven! When I return, Ill try the cafe thats on the first level next to the bookstore. The books are so well organized - impossible not to find books on your favorite topic - neatly arranged!
I love how clean & organized the store is. Also later hours.
McNally Jackson Books is as much a place of rest and relaxation as a retail store. Yes, you will find the book you want there, but you will also be greeted by a friendly staff into an inviting place. The staff is attentive, but more importantly, they have a passion for books, and will share their infectious love with you. Do yourself a favor and check out this amazing store.
Very fine bookstore with an excellent selection. Will be stopping in eveytime Im nearby. Found one book I had been looking for plus another surprise new book I didnt know was published this year. Highly recommended. Very friendly and helpful staff. Glad it is there and open for business. Pleasant surprise!
Definitely a hidden jam... I can get lost in it for days among the vast collection of books... dont get fooled by its small store front or ground floor, its another world upstairs... No matter what your interests are, you will always find something unique there. When was the last time we have that rewarding feeling of getting lost among books--find it back here.
Nice little book store, excellent place.
One of my favorite places to go the staff is so friendly and nice and it just such a peaceful place to go to.I would like to note that they don’t take cash.
Fantastic Whimsical bookstore! Tons of little nooks and crannies to curl up in and enjoy a nice book. Tons of books curated for your individuals whoLove to read! Staff was helpful and kind. Definitely recommend a place to grab a book get a coffee and let your imagination go crazy! #bookstore #books #book #booklover #reading #bookworm #nyc #southstreetseaport
Charming and interesting bookstore with eclectic selection. A place for thoughtful browsing. Unusual, thought provoking titles across many disciplines and interests. Seemed to focus mostly on non fiction and opinion items - - although thats an anecdotal observation which might not be completely accurate. Definitely worth a visit.
Lovely book store. Excellent selection
OMG this place is fabulous, plenty of book and the coffee is outstanding.
Lovely place with a beer & wine bar.
Cute place but they follow black people around.
Heaven in the neighborhood. Thank you ❗️
Huuuge, awesome, cozy :) could spend a whole day there
Great selection of books to peruse through when you’re walking through the Seaport area. Give them your love, we need bookstores like this to stay open!
Beautiful shop with a great selection of featured books. I found myself making a long wishlist based on their curated selections.
I could come and read here all day. What a cool building/atmosphere.
A great plethora of books. Would recommend.
Wonderful little bookstore in the Seaport.They even have a cute coffee cafe with nice outdoor seating. A perfect spot during the pandemic, or anytime.Highly recommend.
This is the best bookstore. Wide selection noway LL Ike Barnes and Noble
Its been ages since I was in such a great bookstore. Loved the organizational principles behind how the books were displayed, which made discovery possible.
Unreal section of books. One trip to this store will make your summer reading list longer than the number of days we’ve been in lockdown.
Small and cute establishment.
Very nice, and friendly environment😊. Nice variety of books, magazines, etc. I will be visiting this store again😋.
Support your local bookstore. This is a great one.
Great Cafe for sweetleaf brand coffee!!! A must try for coffee fanatics. Better than other franchise brands
Stopping by this bookstore was the perfect way to end my trip to NY! Its full of charm and very helpful and knowledgeable employees. I bought a book about the history of the Brooklyn Bridge there to add to my collection.
This location is in a beautiful neighborhood and I think they’ve done a great job of reflecting that on the interior, it’s light filled with historic touches. The staff were helpful when I needed assistance finding a book and there is a huge selection.My only drawback is that it’s a little difficult to navigate the literature section as it’s divided by country so unless you know the author’s origin, it can be a little difficult to find a book on your own.
Amazing bookstore walking distance from ferry
Helpful and knowledgeable staff greeted us. Whats delightfully noticeable was the lack of pretense and snobbery.
Love this bookstore, and appreciate the quality pens for sale as well
Very homey bookstore with good coffee and wide variety of books
Great service!
Large art work depicting young tribulations. Clothing based on art. A place for young adults.
I LOVE this place! such a wonderful addition to the seaport district !!!
Smoke and mirrors by Neil Gaiman - welcome to the world of Neil Gaiman, a world where the impossible is possible...14.01.2018292DIGNITIES:Original presentation of the material, interesting stories, unique atmosphereDISADVANTAGES:The abundance of obscene language spoils the impressionHello, my friends! Good luck to all!I admit that my acquaintance with the work of Neil Gaiman began not so long ago, although I heard a lot about him. Gaiman is called a wizard, and its hard not to agree. After American gods, I wanted to read other works of the author.Perhaps the book Smoke and mirrors I would recommend reading to all fans of the famous Englishman-postmodernist Neil Gaiman, primarily because of the indescribable and unique atmosphere.💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋
It’s very cozy. They have a lot of books that you don’t find anywhere else. You can go in without an appointment.
Love the atmosphere and selection. Favorite bookstore
Beautiful spot - gorgeously designed, wonderful selection and fab cafe too. Couldnt think of a better addition to the historic neighborhood. Perhaps my favorite spot in Seaport.
Delicious coffee, good local cozy vibe, top books, great kids’ selection, worth the visit. good incentives to buy from them, the shop will order your book for you and if you don’t want it they will sell it and not charge you - go to this shop, don’t buy online. love it here.
Cozy and calm, wonderful, highly curated selection. If the only bookstore youve been to recently had been a big box bookstore, do yourself a favor and browse through the thoughtful shelves in McNally Jackson. Youll fall in love with books able over again...
Great space with a very well curated selection of books across all genres.
Very charming and useful bookstore by South Street seaport.
My favorite bookstore. They have a wide range of books and it’s hard to find international novels but they have tons of them.
It is the best bookstore I have found in New York city. A very large selection, well organized, and a pleasant setting to enjoy the books in. Highly recommend a visit if you like books. You wont be disappointed.
Beautiful!
Super cute bookstore and amazing staff!!! They went above and beyond trying to help me find the perfect book, very friendly and helpful. I got Big Little Lies, it was great!!
Lovely place to look at books. Might be hard to find a place to quietly sit and browse if you go at a busy time. Warm and cosy feeling.
A beautiful bookstore - so happy that its joined the neighborhood. Two floors with a large selection of books; plenty of seating and a cafe/bar downstairs. Cant wait to discover new books and spend time here.
If you need a place to chill out after a long walk through the financial district then look no further. McNally Jacksons Bookstore is the perfect place to pick up a good book and enjoy the cozy little atmosphere. They have a nice book selection and lounge area where you can sit down on the couch and read to forget about your day. Plus, its right across from the East River. I would reccomend
One of my favorite bookstores! So many options of books about art, design and photography. Great selection of authors and titles. Don’t forget to visit the second floor - we almost did!
Perfect alternative to the big boxes and when you dont feel like going all the way up to the Strand. Great recommendations on the wall downstairs, interesting selection of genres upstairs.
I love this book store. A real gem in the area. Cozy with an enormous supply of books of every topic! Plus theres a cafe!
Beautiful new location with a charming cafe on the ground floor. Popped in to browse and left with a book an hour later. Charming, charming, charming.
Beautiful bookstore very tastefully designed in an historical building. Great selection of book and fun kids area!
Loved it gonna go back very soon
Great selection. Very cool space. I like the real bookstore. Amazon didnt ruin it. :)
An unexpectedly spacious store and a great ambiance for reading. The bookstore also has a wonderful series of cultural events and lecturers.
Its such a cool & chill place, I wish I lived closer so I could come here all the time!
For me, a book lover, the best store in Seaport District. The coffee bar is great.
Cozy eatery and bar. A lovely place to spend an evening.
Really horrible experience in here today thanks to the awful barista. He told me there wasn’t any hot chocolate left but served another girl straight after me a hot chocolate. Went on to uncomfortably tell me that she was there first when clearly she wasn’t. So unprofessional and clearly only serving a certain type of clientele. I live close by and will never return this to establishment after this horrible service.
The atmosphere was nice and everything was neat, but I couldnt afford buying any books there.
Serene and neat. A great place for readers of all ages.
A beautiful and relaxed bookstore much needed in the seaport district. They regularly have events and talks, and the cafe is a welcome place.
Great bookstore & cafe. A great hideway with a well curated selection of books and magazines.
Nice staff, excellent selection
Calm, cozy bookstore with a great cafe and free wifi! Highly recommend!
This is a fabulous independent bookstore. Dont forget to go upstairs.
Cute store
The new McNally Jackson bookstore at the Seaport is beautiful with a great selection of books. It felt like an old comfortable bookstore in London.
The new store on Fulton is amazing; upstairs is the Platonic Ideal of a library.
Amazing atmosphere to find original books! Loved it!
Nice store fun books
Cozy, inviting, nice selection, helpful staff, perfect location.
Best of the McNallys; could live here
The best bookshop un NY
The first floor in particular is very very well curated
Delightful and welcome addition to the neighborhood
Amazing selection of novels
What a find on our trip to NYC!
Exactly what this neighborhood needed!
True NYC gem
