And as far as I know my identity has never been stolen from there. They actually have a decent assortment of tea, if you're into that sort of thing anyway. It's a very quick and convenient stop on your way into or out of the subway.

They don't sell magazines, which is advertised on Google. I drove all the way here for nothing!read more

I won't necessarily defend their cattiness but, yeah, it was nice to have co-workers who actually talked. City News doesn't have enough culinary emphasis to earn bodega status, but the vibe blurs the line a bit, including the late hours. It has your standard sodas and potato chips, but also some Indian snacks and Vinut juices from Vietnam. Picked up a Daily News, glad to see some newsprint when even some spots billed as newsstands ditched the paper game during Covid.

I am over the moon to have Boulevard Books in my neighborhood!!! When it opened up a year and half…read moreago, I thought it looked super cute but never had a chance to stop in. Over the last few months, I have spent a lot of time at Boulevard and as Tatiana the owner gets to know you, you become not only a loyal customer but a friend. Her events are awesome and something that Dyker needs. Working in Manhattan sometimes I'm just too tired to stay around in the city for a book signing or cooking class - Boulevard offers regular events such as this and it's only a couple of blocks away from our apartment. Poetry readings, psychic readings, meet and greets - I was so surprised to see such great monthly events when I first stopped in and each event is interesting and fun. The ones that have a cost attached to them are minimal fees and even though I don't have kids, I noticed Boulevard has a ton of kids book events and arts and crafts. They know you by name, track all of your purchases and have a loyalty program where you get a $5 coupon occasionally with your purchases. I joined the book club and the other customers in the store get to know each other and look forward to seeing each other at different events. I've also found some totally random kitschy books here for gifts that people have loved. As for the book selection, even if it's not as big as a chain bookstore, Boulevard has a great variety of books. Best sellers, secret finds, popular series - they have them and in almost every genre including a big kids and teen section. Boulevard feels homey and warm when you come in and like I said, Dyker really needed a place like this. I'd rather give Tatiana and her awesome staff my money than Barnes and Noble or Amazon. Considering how much I spend there, I may be asking them for a second job soon!

I wouldn't consider this a must go book shop. It's tiny so you probably won't find anything…read morespecific here. Your best bet is if you're looking to buy a kids book and you may have some luck in teen fiction. There's an art studio in the back if you want to do some painting. I simply can not recommend this minuscule store.
