This shop, tucked away in a townhouse, recently moved to a new location in Tribeca. It offers one of the most impressive selections of mystery books found anywhere; owner Otto Penzler knows his mysteries. Among his many accomplishments, he founded The Mysterious Press. Now he heads up the rare and collectible section of his shop. They also offer a free rare and out-of-print book search. Check website for further details.

Although they specialize in used art books and other non-fiction subjects, this Soho store also has a nice record collection. They specialize in literary fiction, art, photography, philosophy, architecture and French language books. Located just off busy Houston Street, the store is a quiet oasis from the city and a great place to spend some free time and learning a thing or two while you're at it, it's what Mercer Street Books & Records is for. Drop in when you feel like.
