From Google Maps reviews.
The loveliest experience. Great bookstore, great staff, and the podcast studio is such a great service they provide for the community. Just came from my first recording there- San was super helpful and knowledgeable. Got a great book on the way out too. Can’t wait to be back in studio and to attend their events! Looks like a great line-up. Please support this wonderful establishment!
Attended a book reading here. The staff were very friendly. Loved that they had coffee and treats. Was very happy to support this minority-owned small business.
P&T Bookstore in the Lower East Side is a gem. It’s got a great vibe with a coffee shop right inside, so you can grab a drink and settle in. There’s a big reading area that makes it easy to hang out for a while and really browse. The selection is thoughtful and the space feels welcoming—perfect for book lovers who want to take their time and enjoy the atmosphere.
