Housing Works Bookstore Cafe has established itself as a New York downtown institution and tourist destination for the last decade. Special events and a fully stocked cafe make this a great place to meet friends, relax and shop the best book, movie and music selection in New York City. Our one of a kind space is available for rental and all of our merchandise is donated. We are staffed almost entirely by volunteers and 100% of our profits go to Housing Works, Inc.

Art, Comedy, Memoir, Music, Film… We are starting up September with something for everyone. Like Haitian playwrights? Like funny Jews? Like classical composers? C’mon down! Like authors admitting their affairs, incarcerations and addictions? Meet us at the Brooklyn Book Festival! Like thousands of books even cheaper than usual? We have two 3-day sales in the next month!
And if you’re still on vacay? Bid on rare books from Langston Hughes to Gabriel García Márquez at Shop Housing Works. We’re never more than a click away, but we can’t wait to see you back in our cozy shop, nursing a class of wine and a 50-cent paperback.
