You can tell when an owner genuinely loves the books and records they carry. The Bruised Apple is one of those stores. Worth stopping in if you want to get lost for a few hours.

When I came in one of their local book clubs was running - it was so fun to listen in on the conversations and community. During this visit I found a great graduation gift and one of the booksellers helped connect me to some upcoming events related to some recent reads and interests I shared. They have an expansive section for spanish speakers and the large used books shelf highlights their commitment to bringing books to members of the community. I was delighted I ended up spending more time in the store than I planned to. This is a great spot if you're looking for a book, a gift for a book lover or want to get involved in your community!

The staff is very friendly and more than willing to assist. During the short time that we visited, I saw a walking tour explaining the history of the bookstore/area and a few people discussing the topic of the day. I enjoyed perusing old editions of Life magazine and enjoyed the plenty of seating that was available. If you're ever in Ossining, don't hesitate to stop into Hudson Valley Books. I'm sure, that you'll find something worth purchasing.

He is unaware of his surroundings and usually requires to be called over to receive any attention. But the worst part is that he never lets us split the check. He claims that because me and my group only ordered "one entree" that it is not possible to split the check. But with other waiters, we have been able to split the check. So if you attend the restaurant, be prepared for great food but beware of splitting the check if the tall man is your waiter.
