In last night's second season premiere episode of HBO's Girls, "the real life highlight was Williamsburg's Spoonbill & Sugartown bookstore on Bedford Avenue, home of the best bookstore cat in NYC," the Gothamist reported, adding it had contacted the bookshop "to find out what their experience was like, why the cat didn't get any screen time, and if they're stocking up on The Fountainhead, which also made a cameo in last night's episode."
The Gothamist noted later that a publicist for powerHouse Books said its book covers were featured in the episode: "The shots inside of Williamsburg's Spoonbill & Sugartown bookstore feature books published by powerHouse, and we're told the show's 'props coordinator specifically reached out' to them for their help. A call to Spoonbill & Sugartown confirmed that most of these books aren't usually carried by the store, and that the Girls crew brought them in. So if you ever wondered how many Brooklyn-based bookstores it takes to create a one minute make-out scene inside of a bookstore on Girls, the answer is confusingly: two."
