New York Public Library, Jefferson Market Branch

Time Out says
Friendly warning! We're working hard to be accurate. But these are unusual times, so please check that venues remain open.
Ensconced inside a Victorian Gothic city landmark (a former courthouse), the children’s library exudes a Harry Potter–esque feel, thanks to arched stained-glass windows, ornate carved-wood doorways and several original, mural-size artworks—most done by former librarians. Mini goths can even climb the old-school, spiral staircase, inside the tower, to the adult library on the second floor. Kids also flock to the branch’s storytimes and craft sessions, plus a slew of festivals, such as October’s pumpkin-painting extravaganza, held in the library’s public garden.
