Right now we are in Housing Works Used Book Café in NoLita. I randomly found it in my NY Travel Book as we were looking for places with free wireless internet (so we could sit in peace and upload pictures instead of standing outside the basement in the rain like the past 2 nights). After calling Barnes and Noble to hear that they make you pay for their internet (what!), I turned to the Used Books page and called this place, and voila! Free!
Little did we know that we were venturing into Heaven. Really. It is not that big, but has tons of books, all used, all cheap. And cute tables and comfy chairs. And a little coffee and pastry area in the back. The coffee is good and so was the cookie I got. Mmm...
The music they play in here is also awesome.
Both me and Patricia have both been mistaken for employees. I have no idea why. Maybe we look really serious about our book buying. Maybe we are.
Good thing this was all we had planned for today because we've been holed up in here for the past 4 hours. Oh my god.
So tomorrow we don't really have plans. We were gonna go to the Bronx Zoo cause we heard it was free, but I just checked the website and it's actually Wednesday's that are "pay what you wish." Meh.

Gorgeous store!
And such a happy "employee"! Nothing like the sullen B&N employees.
