Housing Works Bookstore Cafe on Tumblr

I wish bookstores were open all night.

Always

Bookstores that stayed open to at least last-call/bar hours would be an ideal place for me to meet women. Ladies in bars may like books, but they might also be illiterate. A late-night bookstore would at least have extra odds.

What about a combination bookstore/bar? That probably already exists somewhere, right?

Housing Works, are you paying attention? We definitely have some book-themed bars in New York, but we need more bar-themed bookstores.

Oh yes, hello! We sell wine and beer all the time. We stay open ‘til 9 most nights, and as late as need be on event nights (lots of concerts and parties and comedy shows). Our ladies are literate and lovely, as are our gents. Welcome to your new hang out.
