I'm just curious what are the best bookstores for foodies in NYC? I'm actually looking for a copy of the Art of Eating but it occurred to me that the more general question it might be better. Cheers.

I like Kitchen Arts and Letters, which is on the UES (Lex between 93rd and 94th).

Love that they finally have a website.

Of course, I need about 1k to satisfy the current urges, bookwise. :sad:

On a recent rainy day we were on a used food/cocktail book expedition, and Strand pointed us to Joanne Hendricks Cookbooks on Greenwich St., 212.226.5731. Joanne is enthusiastic and had some very interesting books . . . what a find! As mentioned previously, Bonnie Slotnick also has an excellent collection and is extremely helpful.

...a website that on the front page features "new fall titles 2004." what a great shop but going in there it feels like it's still 1977 (apart from all the current books, of course).

If I had my druthers I'd only go to places where going in there feels like it's still 1977.

If you're looking for used books via a website, try www.abe.com, it's a good meta site that covers many dealers. Disclaimer---my sister is a used book dealer.

Bonnie Slotnick Cookbooks at 163 wesr 10th Street is another source for cookbooks.

Interestingly, she made the Saveur 100. Go Bonnie! :biggrin:
