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.
Our cafe features fresh, sweet, and savory dishes, soups, and fair trade coffee and tea, not to mention a great selection of beer and wine. Wi-fi is available with any purchase and tables can be reserved for groups (depending on availability).
The cafe is run by an all-volunteer staff. If you are interested in pitching in, please call us at 212-334-3324 or send us an email at volunteer@housingworksbookstore.org for more information.
