I always feel welcome, a most see if you like reading and theatre. This is a wonderful place to grab a drink and a pastry and enjoy a good read. People are kind and creative, artistic vibes of artists that live and wanna make it in the city. The brewed coffee is not my favorite but there is a variety of options.

This was part of our book store trip around the city of NY. This was the first bookstore we visited. Although I was a bit let down by their collection no book shop can have everything you would want. They have a beautiful sculpture of books which goes around the entire shop. The people at the shop were very helpful.

I absolutely love the Drama Book Shop! Not only is it a treasure trove for theater enthusiasts like myself, but the customer service is truly exceptional. The staff's knowledge and passion for theater make every visit a delightful experience. And let's not forget about the barista - their expertly crafted beverages add an extra layer of comfort and enjoyment to my time spent browsing the shelves. The Drama Book Shop has become my go-to place for both great reads and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

It’s a very niche, but gorgeous book store. The offer of plays and related theater books is amazing, and the interior is beautiful. The book shelves light up as you walk by, and the decoration on the ceiling is really unique. There are also places to sit and an offer of coffee. A great place for theater and book lovers!

Stunning! Great collection of all things theater and musical theater. Gifts and cool items for the theater crowd, excellent customer service, cool exhibits and an amazing art piece made from theater books.
If you’re lucky, you might even see Lin-Manuel Miranda stop by …

Really good vibe and delicious coffee smell in this book store. It’s theatre/play themed with some books on designing and humanities. It’s quite clean and organized with cool book decors. Unfortunately only the first floor was open when we were there. If you are a broadway or theatre fan, visiting New York City, it is a good place to go for a coffee break and a meaningful souvenir.

Absolutely beautiful book store with a focus on theatre, acting and writing. I loved the details ( the bookshelves light up as you walk past!) and the unique collections of plays. The staff recommended selection was especially well done!!
