Here's a Book Store in Sheepshead Bay in Brooklyn has been named best independent bookstore in New York by the Daily News. The paper wrote in part:
"Lined with shelves stacked three deep with every type of book imaginable, Here's a Book Store maintains the cluttered, dusty ambiance that New Yorkers expect from a top-rate neighborhood bookstore. The shop not only caters to the over half-dozen nearby yeshivas, carrying many books on the curriculums, but also has half a million other books, 80% of which are used. And while parking can be tough on Coney Island Ave., the Levys provide a valet service that delivers books to drivers idling in their cars outside the store."
The paper also praised Boulevard Books and Café in Dyker Heights in Brooklyn and Housing Works Bookstore Café in SoHo in Manhattan.
