The magazines aren't cheap, but worth it especially if you're looking for inspiration beyond online. They also had plenty of magazines with previous issues in stock, including The New Yorker.

I even accidentally left my card in the store and the owners kept it safe until I returned to retrieve it. I will definitely be back when I'm back in NYC!

A great piece was published on Gothamist.com today, a digital publication that I read daily as if…read moreit were the New York Bible. The piece, titled "NYC Hotels Brace For Slow Recovery Despite Rebound In Foreign Tourism" gives uncanny insight into the hospitality industries' battle in which NYC hotels are quietly struggling to fill their rooms with warm bodies. It's a wonder how NY hotels, or ANY cities' hotels, can afford to treat their guests poorly - effectively destroying opportunity costs for the future business of those guests for whom the experience is extreme disappointment. Please read the Gotham article (link pasted below), and I have also included two really insightful quotes as well: https://gothamist.com/news/nyc-hotels-brace-slow-recovery-despite-rebound-foreign-tourism "While hotels continue to reopen and return to business, more than 100 in the city will remain closed for good. New hotel construction has offset these losses, but a deficit of thousands of rooms won't be available to travelers, resulting in booking shortages as demand increases." "Without business travel and tourism from China, the Hotel Association of New York City doesn't expect a recovery until 2025. But Joe Gaeta at the Hyatt said any increase in business is a good sign." I am not sure how some hotel properties can afford to willfully lose business AND potential future earnings! But believe it or not...

Terrible place for a passport picture. The lady was very nice but not helpful at all. I walked in…read moreand told the clerk I need to get a passport photo. The clerk directed to me to stand in front of the white background and with no warning began taking my photo. My hair was down covering my ears at this point and I know you must show your ears in passport photos, and neck above. I stopped her so I can brush my hair back.The photo was taken chest up. When I saw the picture from the camera, I advice her that the picture needs to be neck or shoulder up because it would be too far back. She said"no problem, I can crop it and it will be fine," and since I liked the picture anyway, I went along with it. She printed the photo, saw the photo, did some trimming, and put it in an envelope for me. I should've check the photo on my end before I left but I was running to the passport agency. When I got there, I found out the picture was blurry and basically I was not able to use the photo for my passport. The rest of my experience, you can imagine. No moral and values from staff at CJ Magazine. If you're trying to make a quick buck, that is not the way. Consumers will be willing to spend money in desperate situations but that is not the time to take advantage and screw people over. Update: I did get a new photo from another nearby deli and was able to get my passport the same day.

Yeah, this is the kind of place where that happens all the time. What appears to be a basic convenience store is anything but. They have more magazines than any place I've ever been. It's nice to have around, for those random issues of random magazines that someone posted about on Facebook that you must buy. I have no doubt you'll find it here.

I seriously need to stop coming here but I just can't. I love a good bookstore, and this one has…read morealways been special to me. Located right across from Bryant Park, it's almost impossible to walk by without going in. It's usually crowded, but that's part of its charm. The store has three levels, each worth exploring. The main floor features an impressive selection of books, including bestsellers and new releases right as you walk in. The lower level is where you'll find collectibles, specialty pens, beautiful notebooks and stationery, unique gifts, even more books, and plenty of cute items that will tempt you to spend more than you planned. The book selection is excellent, although I have to admit the prices can be a bit on the higher side. The staff are always friendly, and checkout is surprisingly quick, so don't let the long lines discourage you. One thing to note: drinks aren't allowed inside, so you'll need to leave them with security before entering. If you're visiting the area or spending time around Bryant Park, I highly recommend stopping by. Whether you're a book lover or just enjoy browsing, this bookstore is absolutely worth a visit.

Hubs: How'd you find this?…read more Ghost in the shell is his fav anime. I knew this was a must have. I was able to score a Ghost in the Shell special archive edition (see pics). This bookstore is one of the coolest spots in midtown. I used to work in the offices next store and would go upstairs to the cafe for lunches or snacks when I needed a break. It was a time way back in the day. Cut back to our Mom's day out... On Mom's day out we made our way toward our lunch reservation, bustling through the glow of the Knicks recent championship win. The city was a vibe and we were living for it. We also were on a mission for finding possible Father's Day gifts and being that 2 out of the three Hubs was into anime, I suggested making a stop here. Not only don't have great stuff for the manga/anime mega fans, it's also a pretty cool book store. One like back in the olden days. Check out was quick and easy and we really did enjoy just looking at all the great stuff. Can't say anything about the food because we saved our appetite for our lunch rez. But all in all, it was great to be back and to show off one of my spots in my old stomping grounds.
