"BOOK HAVENS"

I was lucky enough to spend this Saturday in NYC with the three in tow - a quick jaunt with a lot of pit stops at some old haunts: the Ancient Playground, a "quick" scoot through the Met (he loved this, she loved this, I loved this!) and our final stop, The Corner Bookstore.

One of my favorite spots in the entire universe, this store used to have house accounts so kids could come and peruse on their own - picking up the latest John Bellairs was a highlight of my youth.   And here's a shoutout to a few more havens: The Golden Notebook, Mitchell's, and Farley's Bookshop.
