Great store to browse or meet friends or make purchases that support communities at risk. They have a give and take wall where you can buy a book or coffee or the like for a stranger, and offer access to a restroom (so rare in NYC), free covid tests and plan B! Mutual aid FTW!
I've known of this book store for years. I regrettably waited such a long time to come here. I've found my Mecca!
One of the best places for zines I've ever been to. Welcoming and lovely people who care about what they're doing and will gladly help you in any way they can. Staff is a joy and I sadly can't remember the name of the employee I spoke to but we had a very fun conversation about minizines. I highly recommend coming here and making a day of it and visiting the place that sells AMAZING toast right next to them.
This place is such an asset to the community AND has amazing coffee and an unrivaled selection of books! I’ve lived in the neighborhood for years and have been so happy to have a place like blue stockings to grab a new, interesting book, grab a mask or a free covid test if the need arises. Thank you for everything you do, Bluestockings team!
I live in a neighborhood with another amazing radical, LGBTQ+ friendly bookstore The Word Is Change (it’s amazing and you should check it out!!) but it’s smaller in scale and sometimes runs out of book I would like to buy. When that happens, I always come to Bluestockings and can usually find them! I also love that it’s such a welcoming space for all and provides free, essential resources for the community :-)
Been here a couple of times in the past few months. I appreciate the sense of community and safety that is instantly felt when walking into the store. I love that it truly is a place that prioritizes giving back to the community. They have a single stall restroom, which is nice and clean. The books are great and the zines are always interesting! I’ve yet to try to cafe but my friends did and they had a good experience.
This place makes me want to be a reader! The reading/sitting area is so nice. They also provide free masks at the front, since they are required! Definitely check it out and support an amazing locally and queer owned business.

Best LGBTQA bookstore and safe space in NYC. They have alot of helpful resources and a bathroom and also a place to relax and drink coffee from their cafe.
This is the experience I have had since Covid! The person behind the counter was nice and kind. Its a gorgeous space with magnificent murals! As I was trying to dissect and understand a quote on one of the murals, an immensely kind person with the best energy ever explained who Anais Nin is and their history. This person put the quote in perspective for me and I left feeling so much richer because of this interaction. Thank you Blue Stockings, I look forward to buying ALL my books from you from now on. You have helped me become the person I wish to be.
In addition, Blue stockings does such great work for vulnerable communities and NYC. I am thrilled you are here.
