Much more expensive than the online BN store (2x the price) and you get to experience the worst customer experience from the guy with glasses that doesn't even listen to you and is limited to short answers out of context.
Its maybe the last of the major bookstores in nyc. Though it has judt 3 floors, it has alot to offer.
Wonderful place to stop in. Possible to just brouse. On the second floor there is a children's reading nook. Which is a great place to introduce your pre school children to the world of book's and reading. There is also places for adults to sit quietly with a book.
What a fun way to spend a couple of hours, I can always fun some thing fun to read. Such a wonderful store
This has to be one of my favorite places in Manhattan it is four floors and on the second floor they have Starbucks inside there which is really convenient and on the fourth floor they have a bunch of seats where you can peacefully read a book many different selections for books.
Best place to hang out in Union Square for any season and any reason! :) Great books collection from old to new, fascinating gifts for any age, supremely kind and helpful staff.
You can get books, CDs,DVDs and many other things. You can put things on Hold (with ID) for up to 3 days. Memberships are available for $25 extra per month, but only do this if you are a Frequent customer.
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.
Place would be great if the escalators weren't constantly broken.
One of the biggest main stores. Great books n right across the street is Green Market.
Among the last of a dying breed, sadly. Wonderful staff, incredible inventory, fair prices. I always enjoyed every visit!
Bathrooms are open but cafe seating is closed due to COVID-19
I love books but specially the ones that teaches you for productivity they didn t had the books I were looking for but still they had some others about the subject
Great place to go to the kids to read new books. I had a great time with my daughter.Also, when you just enter, everything is very organized and clean.
Always fun to pop in here and browse! Friendly staff and locals!
This is a downtown Barnes and Noble that has lots of authors speak. It's a little hard to find, but it's across the street from Union Square.
I saw Social Media Guru, Gary Vaynerchuk talk about his book, Jab Jab Jab Right Hook. There was quite a crowd. Good stage, great selection of books. If you see an author and want a signature or picture you have to buy the book ahead of time before they let you get a seat.
I love all Barnes and Noble. Great place to go for a first date to get to know somebody and find out their interests.
Huge selection of books and interesting agenda of events; e.g., Jimmy Fallon had a book signing and Q&A here.
Amazon pushing the brick and mortar to perform well ...
A fantastic bookshop spread over 3 floors. Could quite happily spend a couple of hours getting lost in here. They also stock a great range of collectables. Will definitely come back next time I'm in New York.
For cafe: The pumpkin cheesecake felt like it came out of a freezer plus it was mixed up with carrot cake first... And no forks in the service area... I usually love getting it because of the cream on top but it had ice crystals in there! The staff was agitated/rude. When I was asked whether I was helped, I said no and my order was taken. Immediately after, the person in front of me was asked giving me a look. That person already had her order taken... And instead of going shopping, I had to wait for the cheesecake to thaw... Not a good experience for a rest stop. Also the cheesecake was $3 which is cheaper than usual and made me wonder whether it was fresh.
It's a huge store and at first I did not understand where I was supposed to find any book. The employees there were very nice and the book I was looking for was on display on another floor. They just kept a copy at the customer service desk, next to the checkout. Really nice of them!
Spectacular many texts and good place very well set.
I love this store. We're running out of bookstores where you can go and browse and leaf through books. Then, you can pass some time looking at magazines you never even heard of before. The children's section is amazing. Their crafting book section is not all that great, but it's the best we have in the city. They even have a textbook section on the fourth floor, as well as an area of folding seats where you can sit a peruse books.
Chill environment and a wide arrange of books and products
Great selection. Four floors of books, DVDs, vinyl records, educational toys and more!
Meh, the Barnes and noble on court street, in Brooklyn and the Tribeca locations are better.
stupid a-holes always have an attitude. they don't understand that the more negative they are the more difficult their jobs will be.
Barnes and Noble in its heyday had so many titles in stock, even obscure ones. Now a visit to the store is disappointing because so few titles are on the shelves. The store staff is helpful and always offers to order it for you. If you want a specific title that is not current or a bestseller, easier to order online. On a recent visit, I was amused by the Harry Potter Lego display with an errant Batman in the mix.
Clean and helpful sales persons. Love the bargain section. You can get a bite and coffee inside since they have Starbucks. It's not just books. Nook store and games and more. Great place for picking up a gift.
They even have a section for collectibles not found anywhere else!
The best store to buy books,toys,music,movies and ect. There are reliable and customer friendly.
It is very cozy like on a cold day you can sit there and get some coffee from Starbucks and read a book that you purchased
This is a massive three-story Barnes and Noble with an incredible selection. The prices here are what you expect from a physical retailer and to be honest, I find it useful to peruse books here and then buy them online at a reduced price (I'm sorry if this is putting stores out of business, but books should not cost $30). The staff here are very friendly and willing to help you find what you need or make a recommendation. The store is clean and well-organized and you'll be able to find nearly any book you're looking for. The only downside is this store can be crowded especially during the afternoons and on weekends.
Love it. Great location and multi-storied to explore.
It's nice to find an actual B&N store. Worth a visit
They Have Escalators And Lot Of Great Books .I Bought A BEAUTIFUL Bible From Them Staff Was Very Helpful
A place to go quietly and read books with your favorite people
Really cool place, its like a library but nothing is free
Several floors of heaven. Located right across from Union Square Park. Barnes and Noble cafe upstairs. Great Bargain book section. The $25 annual membership really pays off because you get to save an additional %10 off of sale items and they always have great deals.
MY KIDS SIMPLY LOVE IT HERE...SO MUCH NOT GOING ON SATURDAYS IS MORE OF A PUNISHMENT THAN NO TV OR GAME
A great place. Great variety of books and relaxed atmosphere.
My favorite bookstore,located in in a iconic place ...
Grab a book, meet a friend. Good place to plan meeting up with out of town friends or people coming from different boroughs before you wander around. Also a good place to curl up in one of the lounge areas and try out a new book.
This particular branch of Barnes & Noble holds a lot of memories for me. Every bookseller I have encountered at this store has been helpful with locating books and giving recommendations. I have met so many of my favorite authors here including Amy Tan, Neil Gaiman, and Lemony Snicket. This particular photo shows 'Mortal Instruments' series author Cassandra Clare with actor Ed Westwick (he appeared because he narrates some of her audiobooks).
A very large area for children with so many current books that are very distracted a good option for them to like books better
Friendly staff and especially Tay. Great ambience too. Can't wait to come again after work.
Large, 3 floor store. Quite sitting area with a Starbucks. Great atmosphere.
Big and incredible, with lots of books and low prices
How you're supposed to find anything in the shelves is beyond me -- but the staff is super friendly
One of the best book stores in the city. Always has a crowd.
Nice selection of books and magazines. Picked up Jeanine Pirro's book, Liers, Leakers, and Liberals. Finished it in 2 days. I recommend it!
Workers are always a delight and the book selection is the best
Out of all the nobels that I've personally visited this one has widest selection, great friendly helpful staff, CLEAN bathrooms, a ton of seating area, Wi-Fi. Just everything. I go here almost daily.
My favorite Barnes and Noble to go to in NYC. It's spacious with 3 floors, room to sit outside of the cafe area, and the staff is ready and willing to assist you. Every now and then there are great events held on the third floor, like book signings and readings. It has free WiFi and comfortable chairs to sit in and read peacefully. Although it is in the middle of Union square, it is pretty quiet and most of the customers are respectful. I love to go here and just relax.
It was very very very excited i got the movie that i was looking for it was INFINITY EAR and SUPERFLY
Beautiful Barnes & Noble, and a huge one at that. This location has 4 stories, all for different genres/age levels. The top level is also used for events such as author signings, which is what I was there for. Go check it out if you're in the city!
Great place to take the kids and let them roam and read
Huge place and you can find anything you need there. Not a lot of seating and the place is almost always packed.
Famous chain, here is on 4 floors, inside also a Starbucks coffee shop.
They have 4 levels and it's spacious. The 3rd and 4th floor is where I spend most of my time and workers are always helpful when I need certain items.
