I think I was informed that this is the largest B&N in NYC. It has 4-5 floors of everything...to try and keep up with Amazon. They always have sections of games, books, and miscellaneous items that are 50%-75% off, and it's fun to go through that, bc sometimes you can find a particular Lego or something you didn't realize you wanted.

Otherwise we just come to pick up the latest book in the kids section, and go through some of the new series that have come out. It's a well organized B&N store, and you rarely find books or toys out of place.

Although B&N seem very well staffed, unfortunately, the kids section never seems to have anyone who works there. If you have a question, you'll have a difficult time finding someone, and once you do, 8 out 10, they act as though they have never read a kids, tween, or teen book before, and certainly don't know any of the Authors or where any particular one is. It's a guessing game and each time, we think, we should have just looked ourselves...

There isn't a place to checkout on each floor, only the first floor, but plenty of it, so you don't have to wait too long, even when the lines look it.

As far as events, there seem to be more things going on for adults. They need to make more regular programs and events for kids/tweens/teens.

Oh, there are no places to charge any of your devices here, not even upstairs at the B&N/Starbucks cafe...we've asked and we have tried. We got scolded at for finding an outlet in the ground and using it... :( The second time around we asked and were told to go across the street to any coffee shop.

There are no cozy couches or chairs here to sit around and read to your child...you'll find people on the floor doing that...

This location is different than others, and not in great ways, but bc of it's size and offerings, it's the one you want to go to if you need a book, bc they will be the one that most likely carries it.
