I was so happy to find a cute old school flip book to gift my nephew. The guy working was very cool and nice! And honestly, the shop has great pricing all around.

What a fun, witchy, weird little find!…read more Quimby's located on Metropolitan Avenue near the new hotspot of Williamsburg, is a very cool stop! Tons of zines on every subject imaginable (composting, gardening, witchcraft, gay/queer subjects, politics, and more). Little booklets, funky cards and books. I picked up several cheeky cards I can't wait to send to friends. They also have records, crystals/stones, tchotchkes, small decor items. I think they also do tarot in the back. And they have a cute shop cat! The store decor is a lot of fun, with mirrors, political posters, a large ram that plays on the ventilation system. There is a lot here you won't find anywhere else.

Came here specifically for Cary Gitter's interview/ chat with Amy Feltman about Cary Gitter's debut novel. I really like the layout of the shop, the way the books are displayed, the diverse offerings of holiday books for children, and the way they fit the folding chairs to attend the author event. Really nice staff and cute items sold in the front. Support local bookshops!

Definitely the place for mystery books... who knew there were so many? This could have had every topic ever written, and you would've convinced me it was a 'regular' bookshop. There are also used and signed volumes. Legend has it one is hollowed out in the shape of a wrench. Pardon my failing old man memory, but I believe it was friendly employee Mike that I had a nice chat with at the back of the store (maybe *too* friendly. Very suspicious guy now that I think about it). I'd tell you what the subject was, but then I'd have to un-alive you.

I really liked this business while making the trek to Brighton Beach during a trip to New York City…read morelast year. The St. Petersburg store appeared to be permanently closed, but I wanted to visit Mosvideofilm also, so the trip was definitely worth it. Initially, my interest centered around music and movies, but when I got there, the book inventory attracted my attention. If you are looking for Dostoevsky, Pushkin or Tolstoy, there's plenty in stock. I was looking for books by Lermentov, Bulgakov and Turgenev, but honestly forgot to ask about these authors. Overall, I was impressed with the selection available at the store and look forward to returning one day.

One example - buying a toy for our grandson, (being in a rush for our car pickup) we asked the guy about - at what age this toy would be appropriate- his answer for 6 months and older - nope, it's for 3 years and older (we can still read in Russian).

It's not the largest space, but the shelves are organized really well, and feature anything from esoteric small pub books to mainstream hits to graphic novels. I spotted a lot of my faves, and would gladly return to find a new one. There's a large table in the center where I saw some folks working on laptops and others catching up. My maple latte was fantastic-- strong coffee flavor and just the right amount of sweetness. So five stars for their coffee and five stars for their book selection. I'm so happy a space like this can cater to the queer community and thrive. Support and protect them at all costs.

There are limited seats, but when I went in soon after they opened during the middle of the week, they still had plenty of places to sit. Hive Mind does not have a large food selection so I would recommend planning on just getting a coffee here. The atmosphere is friendly. The prices are normal for the area. I enjoyed my time looking around at the book selection as well as enjoying my latte.
