The French Embassy's Albertine Bookstore in NYC is literally HEAVENLY! The celestial ceiling is swoon-worthy and the entrance stately and statuesque. They carry books in French AND translation (I'll share a pic of my stack later). It really is a wonderful bookstore! I'll post another pic in just a sec...

tpixie Wow! An Embassy bookstore? Or do they just use that name 'embassy' ? 7y
Hobbinol @tpixie it's an outreach service of the Embassy. You do have to go through security to get in... The embassy's official office is in the next block I think... I'm not sure what officers are in this building. 7y

Hobbinol @saresmoore I read about it in the NYT-- we get them delivered at home so we can keep up with the city.?I usually have pages of notes by the time we get back. 7y
Hobbinol @DivineDiana I HIGHLY recommend it. They have author events, lectures and panel discussions. (Unfortunately their calendar was empty when we were there.) 7y
Hobbinol @Lindy You'll have to visit the next time you come down to the city (if you haven't already.) Be sure to check out their events online before you do... 7y
