This Barnes & Noble fits great in the city. It has a thinner design than most others, due to being around 4 floors. While its always pleasant, theres always an escalator that is down, which sucks when there arent regular stairs to use instead. All around, a great place to be, with even greater staff!
Huge store and many selections ..Great layout. Food area was packed (Saturday afternoon) not sure on the other days, coffee was good and staff were friendly. I am assuming many people come use bathroom from outside and you can tell by the cleanliness of it, so that must be challenging.
Such a lovely vibe to the bookstore. That old wood architecture within. And that used escalator adds to the bookish feel. Attendants are also super friendly and knowledgeable about their books especially the lady responsible for kids section on level 4.
Its a chain bookstore, so in my view, not possible to earn five stars. (I love indies.) Anyway, this is B&Ns flagship store. Four stories, very well stocked, cafe, clean, easy to use. My kid loved the huge manga section.
I have been coming here since I was a teenager! Im so happy that they keep certain locations open. This shop is so well organized. The customer service is very friendly, I can always ask for help to find the things I need. I do wish there was more seating but it is such a pleasant place to read or get work done that I understand why its crowded. Love it in there!
Its important to remember that for a good while, this establishment was closed to the public due to Covid-19. Recent municipal rulings have made it possible for folks to come back and shop again. Mask wearing is still encouraged for those curious. For many years, Ive always made it a point of shopping at this great store. From CDs to DVDs, books on numerous subjects, and a great kids section. It never hurts to support brick-and-mortar stores. This particular location has been a personal favorite for over 20 years now. Enjoy!
This Barnes and Noble is the largest location I have ever been to. Many floors with every topic imaginable. The Café has a great selection of snacks, coffees, drinks and food. There are reading areas and nooks for patrons to enjoy their favorite selections.
Was really awesome! Your in Manhattan and you already know shops are huge, and I’ve been to plenty of Barnes & Nobles before which I thought were pretty big, but dang this one is definitely the biggest one I’ve ever been to! It’s huge! It has up to 4 floors!!! It filled with any possible book you are probably looking for if not! They also had lots of toys, bags, and other goods. I believe they also have a cafe, but I didn’t see it. When I went in it was about to close so I had to run around lol! But definitely coming back someday to take my time and browse! There’s great selection and theres much much more than I thought there would be. Can’t wait to come back! I recommend this to all book lovers!
One of the last few bastions of physical media in NYC, it boasts 4 floors of books in addition to media, toys and games. The staff is usually friendly and do their best to help you. It also has a café where you can grab a snack or coffee and sir down to read. Overall a pleasant experience and worth visiting.
I love to visit this shop. On the first floor a lot of actual books. I love the music department. Also order pick up in the cashiers area. Second floor with a lot to find for children. Always helpful employees. Only the lift is obsolete. I prefer to take the rolling stairs.
My Favorite place Barn & Noble. If your bookish person so there you are! Amazing atmosphere and I like the window seat in the star bucks coffee shop on 3rd floor. Grab your favorite books and sit there for hours .. you wont get bored.
A classic book store can be found in Union Square.Dont miss it. The store is massive, has a better selection of books than most Barnes & Nobles, and a cafe, but most importantly, if youre in Union Square and looking for an indoor break, this is your spot.
Nice place, big and with helpful staff, prices differ from online catalog but this may be intended tho
Everything has changed,from pomes read ings, to much more, but your there for my needs thank you,artwork by IVY T,Delgado. 135-32 ND street R-508
Always a great set for mind to be here. Great book for every king of taste of mind to enriched brain and imagination and flying to another space.
Lots of crochet and craft books on the fourth floor. Found some great YA fantasy series for the kiddo based on staff recommendations. Staff helpful and friendly
I am so so glad to be back...Ever The very Best to get lost and spend some time with awesome BOOKS of mine 🤗🥰❤️❣️🥰🤗😍🥰Thank You!!!!!!!
Barnes & Noble really never disappoints! Whatever youre looking for, youre sure to find it there, with 4 floors filled with books but also goodies, a café, and even items on sale.Its heaven for readers!
4 floors of books, magazine, toys, coffee and cds. But mostly books. Its a meeting place, a playground, a discovery space, an oasis away from the city. And yes, a great place to buy books at a reasonable price.
Very friendly staff. Even though the person at the front desk said the book was in-stock (it also showed as in-stock online), and also having an employee help me look in the actual section, we were unable to find the book. They offered to order it or look for other stores that had it. They also mentioned it might just be on a display table somewhere.Cafe folks were also friendly. They have some Gf options that are pre-wrapped in the display case.
Barnes and Noble,On occasion, I visit and conduct business at your Union Square location on and off for a number of years now. As this location is conveniently located near where I live in the Union Square area.In all honesty, I have not been frequenting as I used to and only as of recent have been making my presence felt more frequent.On April, 16 2022 in the afternoon I was approach in my seating area at your cafe department by a gentleman identifying himself as the manager of the store by the name given of Mr. Tony Walker.Mr. Walker was sent over my direction courtesy of one of your overzealous staff members from your cafe department.I believe a gentleman by the name of Bob. Who as per Mr. Walker expressed to me that it has been called to his attention by this gentleman that the number of times I’ve visited the cafe I’ve had a beverage in hand from another competitor. And as per Mr. Walker exact wording “I will be thrown out of the building, your place of business if it occurs again”.I understand rules, formalities and procedures very well as every business may have them well in place and I for one have some in place in my line of business and in no time I believed I’m an exemption to the cafes rules or in that matter intentionally disrespectful.My discomfort and unpleasantry was Mr. Tony Walker approach and wording. His approach was aggressive, confrontational, bias and condescending and not too customer service friendly as far as my experience in this field goes.As in the very moment Mr. Walker was scorning me with another unidentifiable gentleman at hand, standing next to Mr. Walker silently, there was a table next to me enjoying what seemed to be outside Mexican food that was surely not from your menu selection and not to far away at another neighboring table patrons where enjoying as well beverages that from my familiarity are not part of the cafes inventory as well.I politely brought it to the attention of Mr. Walker in my observation and ask if I’m an isolated incident? When in fact all this extra unwanted activity in managements dislike was all taking place around Mr. Walker at that very instant.Mr. Walker seemed not to be concern with the other patrons and the strict rules or consequences he was instilling in me. In Mr. Walker defense and in good face he pleasantly and delicately approached the patrons at hand and politely informed them of the cafes rules without the threat of removal from your facilities, contrary to what Mr. Walker relayed to me in his communication.I will like to add there was an uncomfortableness and awkwardness with Mr. Walkers approach and the gentleman accompanying Mr. Walker, In finding out later is one of the security guards at post that afternoon. If any where needed for this circumstance?!I have walked in your place of business with a small cup of coffee in hand not emptying out John Steinbeck entire collection from your book shelves.I believe this entire incident was overly amplified and excessive and Mr. Walkers approach could have been subtle and respectful and without prejudgement.I like to add that I’m aware that this location in Union Square, NYC has an abundance of outside people coming in that may not be managements idea customers and I like to believe that you as a company, in a whole, welcomes everyone and everybody regardless of race or creed and unbiased and without prejudgment.Sincerely,Javier Ditris
Huge bookshop 3 levels and one coffee shop on the upper level
I looked at the reviews to see if anyone would say what is on each floor but no luck, so here. 1st Floor is Cards, Music and Movie, etc. 2nd Floor is Young Adult, Kids Toys, etc. 3rd Floor is Business, Cooking, Diet, Starbucks, etc. 4th Floor is Magna, Romance, Art, History, etc. Hope this helps, great store and many options, will definitely come again.
First time here and was amazing. I bought 3 books about trading
Its not was it used to be. There is no place to sit, not clean bathroom. Also they didnt wrap a gift that we bought and they used to do that. Its much better to find a local bookstore.
Very tidy and spacious. Bathroom was clean. The kids reading area is nice, could use some chairs for parents to sit
Best book store that’s still around. 4 floors of books and a great little cafe to sit and read!
They have done a great job in opening the walking space inside. It use to be so many tables with books as soon as you walked in, but now its less and there was no crowds people follow the rules. Every one wore mask. The Cafe also is open again so you can sit and read but limited space. It was a nice day to go with my girls to get some Harry Potter items.
Even though they didn’t have the book I was looking for they had a great selection of books and other items that really caught my eye.
Barnes & Noble has an excellent choice when it comes to books. The only problem with this location is the fact they use racial profiling and only follow a certain style of people.
OK so cool place to look at mags and books and use there bathroom. Not much else to say.
Love BN always love to visit the Union SQ bookstore. but honestly I would rather to buy online in the future than deal with the rude cashier.
Pretty good place. Bathrooms are in shambles or at least the mens one but it is nice albeit a little musty feeling just don’t be there too long
For me, the greatest joy of reading a book is the sensation of holding it in my hand and turning the pages. And Barnes & Noble gets it. They know, that there are legions of avid readers like me, who love reading, who enjoy going to their wonderful bookstores to browse, read, hangout and buy books.I was recently introduced to a new way to launch: a business, product or service by Jeff Walker. I was not able to sign up for his course, but when I found out about the book. I was able to walk into my local Barnes & Noble on Union Square, NYC and purchase a copy of Launch.My deep gratitude to Barnes & Noble and their incredible staff for providing excellent service to book lovers like me.
Everyone always so helpful and knowledgeable. Great selection of reading material and even some Legos too!
Very well organized with a great variety of books on four levels!
A wonderful place for books. It has multiple floors and books are nicely arranged. I especially liked the children’s section. It is pretty big and has a very nice collection of books.
I love Barnes and Noble. I went there to buy a jigsaw puzzle. I used to patronize the other store on 86th street off of Lexington Avenue. Largest selection of books,hardcover and pocket books.
Always pleasant, staff is friendly, effective & responsive. There are plenty of smaller bookstores and local bookstores nearby but for special appearances and a very organized big box bookstore… it’s the answer.
Really nice cafe to hang out in. However management needs to do a better job with reviewing vaccinations instead of having employees yell out of every walking customer. It’s not a personable experience. Clean the tables more often also. Employees attack you for vaccinations I understand it’s needed but really to attack customers? I will never entertain this. Train your people to work diligent but courteous.
A usual stop for me after work to quickly browse vinyl. Decent selection of new titles, but only gripe is most are found cheaper on Amazon. But cool location and selection of Studio Ghibli merch make up for it!
Excellent Staff especially in the department of DVD movies today I spoke to someone regarding Christmas stock the young man was patient, polite, and extremely helpful. Always in the kids academic section to look for workbooks the staff is very polite, professional & helpful. Love the 14 Street East Barnes and Nobles number one store!
New ownership has created a more inviting space. Store was very busy today with a long line at the cash register. Great selection of books which are a product that is never out of style. Treat yourself and/or someone else to a book, an item that is always a wonderful treat.
^Great amount of products and miscellaneous clearance!!^Literally a little bit of everything for anyone.^cds and dvd section!🎵▶️-Bathrooms are a little small.^big cafe area^Lines move quickly^they offer brown paper bags with actual Handles lol
Nice and famous bookstore. Cafeteria and a nice view at level 3.
Very welcoming. This is in 14th st Union Square NYC. More diverse. Not just books. But any material you need for studying or stimulating your mind. This is the place to be.
Wonderful selection of books well curated and displayed:) Heaven for book lovers. You can spend a day here, they have a cafe too!
This place is a dream for book lovers, youll find a lot of great books that youve extremely love!
The staff are very kind and helpful. The first floor is bestsellers, recommendations, and music/dvds. Second floor has a starbucks and magazines. Third floor has bathrooms and kids books. Fourth floor has manga and comic books.
Huge Barnes and Noble by Union Square Park. Four levels, Starbucks, escalator and elevator. Beautiful neighborhood with restaurants nearby with outdoor seating
A big, bright, happy bookstore in the middle of the digital age. It’s in a wonderful location - Union Square - and very accessible by subway. They also do great events with authors pushing their books.
I have been to this store many times and what I can say is, the staff are VERY FRIENDLY and make the customer feel welcomed. If I have a question, any staff that I asked went out of their way to make sure I was able to find what I needed. I recommend going this store and I myself will be going back to shop.
Love love the books! Very clean. Staff is awesome. On the second floor, there are Lego figures from Harry Potter. This was awesome!
If youre surprised by the tiny sci-fi/fantasy collection downstairs like I was, go up to the fourth [!] floor and go right after the escalator. The cafe on the third floor also seemed nice and like a good place to work.
Never really have the books that Im looking for, homeless people canp out in the store, and starbucks feel like the only highlight in at this location.
I can find any book and music cd
Really big. There were 4 floors and easy to find different genres. There is a place to buy food inside.
I have posted more photos about Barak Obamas book at barn and noble
Very organized , front desk able to locate book we are looking for. Was a different floor but she went herself to retrieve book for us. Verynice
I love this book store. It has so much space to walk - it doesn’t feel crowded at all.
Its great to still find a good bookstore in the city, you can spend the whole day browsing their 3 floors.
Its Barnes and Noble and exactly what you expect. Ive been to nicer ones, but I appreciate that this one is spacious. The 2nd floor is all childrens and young adults! The set up is nice. They had at least one employee in the childrens area that was really helpful and actually knowledgeable. I didnt check out the other areas, but for families, its great!
Good! Nicely spaced out so feels a bit less overwhelming navigating through it than some others, large selection and easy to find what you need.
Not everybody is into books but there is something magical about old school/paper books. A must visit for book lover. In addition, they have a lot..... of music in viny/lp format!!!
The is a nice Barnes and Noble with rotating random lego displays and a huge toy section for kids
Best bookstore in NYC! Great customer service and beautiful books. If you need blank music notes here you can find them.
The store has a great layout and every book you could want
Been coming here for over 25 years and although times have changed, this bookstore is still my go to for a weekly recharge at the Cafe with some magazines or books. The staff are friendly and patrons are as well.
Bookstore was great. Starbucks was not good - poor service and not enough seating, plus bathrooms under repair.
One of my favorite places you can find literally every book and there’s also a coffee shop and music section
It is a nice place especially to bring kids.
A grand location of the iconic B & N store.It may not compare to the quaint feeling of The Strand, it holds its grandeur for the feast of book lovers from all genres!
I called before I had picked up The Song of Achilles and they were more than happy to hold the book for me while I was on the way to pick it up. It was a quick pick up and very easily handled.
Such an amazing store with very good prices compared to what Im used to (especially for English books). They had a huge selection and it was hard to pick which ones I wanted to buy. I walked out with three books, and one was even an actual signed copy!
This Bookstore has books... it also has games...But,, I came here to use the bathroom, which worked out nicely. The bathroom is on the second floor near the kids books. It was fairly clean.
Its really a big bookstore. I really love this one. Very close to the subway
Excellent customer service. I had help to find a book that I needed. Thanks to an employee on first floor. She helpful in locating my book.
Not well organized system. Computer shows that they have the books I am looking for, but actually they dont have them.
Excellent customer service. I had help to find a book that I needed. Thanks to an employee on 3rd floor. She stayed with for a while helping me find what I was looking for.Thanks
Great big clean store..
Other Barnes and Noble locations such as the 46th and 5th Avenue store much easier to browse and to find books. Union Square store too full of their idea of alternative and so new books that dont match that stores agenda are not featured.
This is the Union Square’s B&N. Café, children’s and adult events. Great selection of gifts, toys and games. Nice place to meet other bibliophiles. New releases and classics, all under one roof. Expansive musical section with modern and classic selections in the mediums of compact disk and VINYL (and yes... B&N also sells the turn-tables!).
Real review 5 stars1 star because security is trash;Person yells at me for me asking which door was open to leave the store. (closing hours)Person closed the door at me for no reason while other people were inside. I felted targeted. I also felt mocked.I am a customer who buys books here weekly. I stayed calm, and they did not act professional.I buy here weekly and spend real money.I get you had a stressful day but dont bring your angry to me who did nothing wrong to you.Store is great, security made this one star. Not the store.Going to another B&N - I dont like the way I was treated on my way out. Also been going here since 06 so that was super unexpected to be treated that way.
This Barnes & Noble is one of my favorite of all time in NYC; a staple of the NYC Union Square area. I used to just go here and read for hours, sit on the floor and escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. Conveniently located in front of Union Square park, features a coffee, bathrooms, and there are elevators and escalators to the top floors. The Spanish collection of childrens books is getting better and better with the years!
Its a wonderful store with a few floors of books, an area to sit and write or drink coffee. They have a pretty decent selection of autographed books as well.
Its a pretty quiet place for NYC. The layout of all categories for books was amazing, and they got all possible books I have ever seen
This is, to my knowledge, the biggest bookstore in the United States. If youre looking for something they probably have it, and if they dont ask a staff member and theyll order it for you. Their cafe has lots of seating, theres two bathrooms and even a bench just for reading. The only issue is that I can never FIND a staff member. The desks are always empty and I have to wander the four floors to find a person to ask.
Barnes and noble across union square park , has it all, very nice
Great customer service , cafe and selection of merchandise. Purchased a drink and my books in the cafe on the 3rd floor. I had a great afternoon in the store.
I found two great books for a friends daughter. I intend to return next month to buy 2 more books for her daughter.
Lots of interesting books to purchase and puzzles and other items, of course. Bathroom available. Three floors.
Very nice
Really great place to use bathroom if in cityOr read with kids while u wait out the rain
Barnes & Noble are slowly disappearing but while theyre still here... this is the best book store in the city.
The staff at Barnes & Nobles are great! And the store is superb! Thanks, Barnes & Nobles, for a wonderful experience!
Great and big store, toilets could be a bit better though but thats the issue in a lot of places of NYC
I love this store. It is one of the temples of books in New York. It has so much variety, you can get lost in here for days and never come out. I wish I lived closer.
It was my first time shopping here and I absolutely loved it! The employees are kind and attentive. There was an incident and they handled it very well. I will definitely be going again very soon!
If you dont find it at Barnes & Noble, youre not going to find it. Four floors of books and games and anything connected to reading. Plan to spend some time here if youre in the area!
A cool place to read books and hang out
Great book store. This location had a place with tables you could sit and read. They had a great selection. They even had some discount books.
Good place. Biggest catalog ive seen so far. Security makes it feel safe too.
This store is huge. Many books to choose from and it has a starbucks and seating.
Great especially Union Square book presentations authors newly written books Anderson Cooper presentation with mom Gloria Vanderbilt the best
I love B&N. Even though we lost the only one in the Bronx, coming to 14 street is a joy.
Love the collection here! Besides books they have good selection of birthday gifts for kids too
Great books, good atmosphere to get work done or get coffee with a friend
Clean... organized... quick checkout. Surprisingly, not too many people inside.
Great store. Very busy but the people that worked there were more than willing to help with any questions.
They have a man policing regular people by making sure nobody sits on the floor but he does it in the most rude and unkind way
Great place and a lot of options and I love buying trading cards here and also friendly staff!
It is one of my favorite places in new york... Great place to buy books and other things, read and stay peaceful for a couple of hours.
Also great. Warning, weekends are super crowded though
Really lovely bookstore! Must visit if you are in the area and love books
Excellent place, great help,wonderful staff very helpful, got the books that I needed and was out in less than 1/2 hour, stayed to admire the place.
Very good bookstore
It was my first time going to this location and it was a great experience. There were staff members to helo me find the books I was looking for on each floor and check out was quick.
Always a good time with my son at Barnes and Noble. I do wish their rest rooms were clean. They were absolutely gross today
The Queer section is shrinking by the day which is really sad to see. This used to be a Mecca for LGBTQIA+ fiction and reference
Good space for a book signing event but sound system needs work.
I found exactly what I wanted -- the Penguin edition of Don Quixote -- and I found it in only 1 minute and 20 seconds. Cant beat that.
They had the DVD for which I was lookingand at a favorable price, so I was pleased.
Massive book store north of Union Square park. They host book launches with renowned authors and many other events throughout the year. The store spans multiple levels but still manages to feel charming and cozy. There’s a large section dedicated to children’s books and toys. There’s a B&N cafe serving Starbucks coffee and free WiFi. The public restroom is on the second floor.
3 stories plus a play area for parents and children. Cafe on the 1st floor. Gifts. Beautiful store.
I went here following my sister, pretty much empty so if you like solitary reading👍. Some people hanging around the manga section who talk to each other, but i guess its just youre average book place. Theres coffee and hot chocolate.
Ive been to many Barnes and Noble but this one takes the cake!. 4 floors of books, clean public restrooms and quite a view from the top!
My favorite place to go in whole of NYC. If youre lucky youll see book signing by an author. This is a place to get away from the hustle and bustle. Have a coffee or sandwich before browsing for books because its huge !
Excellent service, a big variety of topics, categories & languages.
What can I say? This place is like Disneyland to me. Love to spend hours there.
Really nice store, a must see in the city.
Great location. I love the view from their cafe
Nice bookstore
Me and my friends come here every now and then. Great book store. Always good service. They even have a Starbucks on the 3rd floor where you can sit and read your books while drinking or eating. However the bathroom could be more clean.
Beautiful bookstore with a whole Myriad of choices. And the food was good. I enjoyed that spinach and feta stuffed pretzel and the Reeses cookie. They both were really good but that rReeses cookie was the bomb. Great place to eat a snack and read what you want without actually paying for the book. I also remember when I saw Asa Akira on the top floor do a book signing/ reading. That was pretty dope. I will be coming here more often so they will be more reviews
Large multi-level store. Has a bathroom near the childrens section
Went in because the strand was already closed for the night. Ended up browsing magazines for an hour and found some gems.
Its cozy, but not much choice. but there are very good costumers, ready to help
Barnes N Noble is great. Nice, clean, and friendly environment.
Love this place. 4 floors, huge selection, and the staff is so nice. I was recently there to look for a specific book and I couldnt find it. 2 employees helped me look on 2 different floors until it was found (it ended up being on sale so it was in a different location). Always a lovely experience at this store.
Great place, every book I was looking for was here, would definitely recommend going here for your favorite book and they also have a Cafe as well
Always a great place to visit. Amazing store, fantastic employees, and 📚 books of my!!❣
It’s much more spacious now, and there’s a huge music section with CDs and vinyls. The cafe on the 3rd floor serves Starbucks coffee and there are restrooms available on the 2nd and 3rd floor. There’s also a huge Harry Potter dedicated section.
Great bookstore and really nice employees.
This is an incredible book store to go buying or reading!. Definitely you should go to visit if are you down in the city
Manager was called to resolve an issue in the Cafe. 30 minutes later manager arrives, the Cafe server identifies me as the customer but it took the manager another 5 minutes to greet me. I don’t believe she will carry through with the resolve because she does not possess ANY customer centric qualities or concerns. I get it, the stores are just opening to customers and it’s hard to good help. I will contact corporate on my issue.
I love this book store so much. They have such a great collection for NYC. Not to mention bathrooms if youre ever in the need around union square. Pretty good selection of graphic novels on the top floor. The lecture area is great when you just want to relax and sit indoors for a while (provided there is no lecture/event). Its in a fairly lovely old building as well.
Quiet, quick paste to life money making settlements
Great place to visit, always a great variety of books,CD,manga, etc…
4 floors of well organized well stocked shelves!!! Big Cafe and nice view!
Amazing Bookstore! 5 STARS!!!!
Great selection and easy going friendly staff.
True iconic NY bookstore that has been around for quite some time..truly an amazing selection of books and magazines and a lovely place to just spend your entire day.
Its a great Barnes and Noble like any other Barnes and Noble. The staffs are really helpful and they actually have more selection of books than some other ones.
Amazing selection on all 3 floors. Helpful staff and great deals on clearance upstairs on the 3rd floor with the cafe!
Loved this place .friendly and knowledgeable staff .Very organized and clean. Would definitely return!
Big yet cozy and fun for the kids. Has every book you need.
One of the very few places in New York that I feel has remained authentic. Losing Barnes and nobles on 86th was heart breaking. Im glad this place still stands!
Big bookstore with solid selection of new releases and the most popular older books. The space is huge -- it takes four escalators just to get to the fiction section.
Great workers. Showed us right to the books we were looking for and I loved their Harry Potter section.
Awesome bookstore! It is very organized with a bunch of floors dedicated to different age groups/genres. It is very spacious and all the workers are super kind!
I love this barnes and noble:) it’s huge and hasa good selection of board games. the worker who was on the second floor that day was lovely and so so helpful:-)
Has the largest collection of books and the most variety of all brick and mortar book stores.
Great help as well as size for a Bnk. They even have a great coffee shop on the 3rd floor. They had a good selection of non profit books but not an overburdened amount. Like the ambiance as well.
Very big and nice. Bit pricey (most books sell for retail) but their frequent coupons through signing up for their email list help offset that.
Absolutely amazing place, great collection and courteous staff.
They are customer oriented. You get what you came for. They have a huge variety of items, not only books and magazines. Its a nice and safe place.
I not a big reader, but Barnes and Noble is were I go to get books
It is the nicest Barnes and Noble in Manhattan. That being said, the way bookstores are dropping like flies, almost any bookstore is the nicest of its kind in Manhattan.
Very big bookstore, tons of books. Ive been to smaller B&N locales and theyre much cozier. Traditional ambiance is lost with the huge spaces & floors.
This is my favorite of all the Barnes and Nobles in Manhattan. The place is huge and very wellOrganized. The cafe area has a great ambiance and perfect place to read. I like the wide selections of small bites, coffee, and other beverages. Very nice place!!!
Great customer service, very helpful, directions were clear and percised. If books werent expensive I would go there everyday. Lol
Great place to visit when in the area!! Its standard Barnes & Noble but with four whole floors with books galore! Has a sit down cafe to read in which is a nice touch. Very accessible with escalators and elevators. They also have coupons on reciepts for the cafe. Overall great bookstore, and a nice location if visiting the area.
Hands down! Top book store in NYC4 floors of endless books
Very beautiful display although they dont allow people to sit down like they used to. Although that could be because of Covid but not completely sure. I wish they had a much wider selection of books however...
Great place , clean , amazing staff , u can go shop , or past time there its a neat place to go.
Very nice place to find books
Absolutely horrible online customer service! I ordered a book online for one of my classes, and I paid $17 dollars for two day shipping. All together I spent over $40 on a book for one of my classes. The expected shipping date was October 13th, and they didnt even ship for 5 business days! Again I needed this book in time for one of my classes and they never shipped my book in time for my class. I wanted to cancel my order 5 days later after it never shipped. I contacted online Customer Service twice about this issue. They said they couldnt cancel my order because it was already in the process, but to begin with it never shipped. Online Customer service said I had to return my book but what guess what I got when I returned it? Twenty Five lousy bucks from Barnes and Noble! Not the full $40 I spent on the book. I a student for goodness sake and I gave them money for a two day shipping that never happened! Im never giving these people money ever again!
In addition tonhave books it also has a great selection of boars games.
I went there with my daughter, who loves to read books. She has a membership with B&N, and I took her to get a few books, and even got a few CDs for myself. Awesome experience!!!
A massive and various selection - I regret not living in this store.
Love B&N - love books
Pretty nice store, some lady said i couldnt sit on the floor cuz im a fire hazard. Kinda a roundabout way of telling me im hot but thank you.
Good. They had a sale on their hardcover books which was great. It was crowded but well worth it
Nice place, a lot of books for read and a comfortable site, also have a coffee shop
Celebs galore, lots of John Douglas books 😍Awesome huge 4 story book store with escalators. Spotted lots of celebrities on a Friday and Saturday afternoon. Perfect place to get kids toys as well. Right next to a well known park which is full of multimillion dollar condos. Gorgeous spot if midtown.
Its Barnes and Noble. Love everything about it!
Just the best book store ever, even if you don’t find what you looking for; the store will have it shipped to your home or the store as soon as possible.
Very helpful staff and nicely laid out store. A super plus is that they have a CD and record (as in vinyl) department with a great selection and decent prices. Dont do Amazon...go here or The Strand which is nearby on 13th street.
Absolutely great location, five floors and a starbucks on the third. Spent about three hours here with friends because there is just so much available. 10/10 will come back.

2022-03-31Whenever I visit a place in the world, there are five things I do: running, food tastings, coffee enjoying, museum visiting and books picking. This bookstore is the best Ive ever visited! I just didnt wanna leave 😭😂

2021-10-22I am just a window shopper at B&N. I love perusing the books and exploring the 4 floors. They have a great selection of books, toys, and board games. Their Lego collection is good without bothering to go to the crowded lego shop, saving tons of time! The cafe is great too. Always a great place to visit and get away from the outside crowd.

2021-10-14I love this Barnes and Noble location. Its 4 floors and is well stocked with a nicely curated selection of books. The number one thing I love is that on the 4th floor they have an amazing selection of manga. Like several isles of just manga and light novels. They have a lot of manga that are more mature and some less popular harder to find titles. Its one of my favorite things about this location. The workers are also really nice. There is a coffee shop on the 3rd floor that seems to currently be allowing dine in and has nice views of the park. And the building is gorgeous.

2021-08-28Great place to browse and buy books. 5 floors and plenty of space to walk around. And theres a famers market across the street. In a active and fun area in NYC, Union Square.

2022-06-26Great selection of books over several floors. The ground floor is spacious and allows for easy browsing of the latest paperback and hardbacks across both fiction and nonfiction. The tables with topic/theme groupings often provide inspiration too. Helpful and friendly staff

2022-05-09Great place. There are so many levels and a large variety of books to choose from. Always fun to sit and browse. There’s also a cafe at the third level if you want to buy a drink or snacks. They also sell stationary, albums, and toys… can’t get bored here.
