The Strand Book Store has officially opened its new location on New York City's Upper West Side.
It is the second Strand location on the Upper West Side and resides at 2020 Broadway, near Lincoln Center, in a space that previously housed the last remaining Shakespeare & Co. store. The space spans 2,500 square feet and includes a cafe that hasn't reopened yet; the Strand is waiting on permits from the city. The store stocks books for all ages--the Strand's traditional mix of new, used, and rare books--along with a variety of gifts and merchandise, including Studio Strand items.
When the Strand announced the news in May, owner Nancy Bass Wyden said the Strand will continue to employ the current Shakespeare & Co. staff and baristas.
