Strand Book Store
Type: Book Stall
Location: 109, Central Park
The Strand Book Store has operated its Central Park Kiosks, at 60th Street and 5th Avenue, since the 1960s. The book stalls were created to emulate the stalls on Paris' Left Bank. Benjamin Bass founded the Strand Book Store in 1927 in an area of New York City called Book Row of America, where forty-eight bookstores lined the street from Union Square to Astor Place. Strand is the only remaining Book Row bookstore and is still owned by the Bass family. Today, the Strand Book Store is the largest independent bookstore in New York City, with over "18 miles of books" in its 35,000 square foot store. Visit the Strand Book Store's Union Square location at 828 Broadway at 12th Street.
