Congratulations to Idlewild Books, founded in 2008 in New York City by David Del Vecchio: the travel guide and literature store has opened a second location, in Cobble Hill, in Brooklyn, where it is selling foreign-language books only--mainly literature and children's books in French, Spanish and Italian--and holding language classes, some of which are its first for children.
"We love the neighborhood--with its strong Italian roots and growing reputation as New York's Little France--and our neighbors have already made us feel welcome," the store wrote in an e-mail to customers. "And in addition to thousands of great foreign-language books, we also have two great French-speaking staff members--Marie from France and Laetitia from Belgium--who will be happy to assist you in the new shop."
Idlewild Brooklyn is located at 249 Warren St. (between Court and Smith), Brooklyn, N.Y. 11201; 718-403-9600.
