Sights & Blights

Storefronts: Sights

How many do you see in a day? Enough to know that they make up a big chunk of the city’s aesthetic landscape. Forget inner beauty: Long live the shops with a pretty face—and fie on those garish others!

1 Gray’s Papaya
2 The Strand Bookstore
3 Union Square Greenmarket
4 Curry Row
5 The Apple Store
Sights 6–10

Open since 1927 and operating at its current location since 1956, the venerable Strand towers over big-box shillers. The expansive awning and library carts draw you toward it, but inside, you discover the beauty of the books themselves—stacked up, wrapped around walls, tucked under tables, they are art.

View all of our storefront picks (at least one location) on a Google map.
