for new books. Unnameable Books in prospect heights for used. Other favorites are McNally (the one in soho is the best IMO) and Center for Fiction in Fort Greene. Books are magic is quite awesome too. The word is change and Dear friend books in bed-stuy are some others I can think of in BK.

For new books:
McNally Jackson (kinda an obvious choice, always a really good selection, Soho & Williamsburg locations)
Greenlight Bookstore (my local new books bookstore, where I go most often, Fort Greene BK)
For used books:
Housing Works Bookstore (some great finds here, housing works is a nonprofit that fights AIDS and homelessness, they mostly have thrift stores but also this 1 used book shop!)
The Strand (another obvious one but I go here so often too tbh)

Amazing selection of used books, unlike any other I’ve seen! I also love Mercer St Books and Records near Bleecker.

Troubled sleep is my favorite bookstore in all of New York ! mostly used books
Unnameable books about a 12 minute walk away, also great
— and my one Manhattan rec, Karma bookstore in alphabet city (attached to karma art gallery). fantastic selection of art/fashion books and recommend asking the guy who works there for his favorites of the week

I live with my husband and baby daughter now and love it but I never get a chance to be home alone and I look back to my single days living alone and feel so grateful that I had a chance to do it.

You are going to go to so many places in roma/condesa. So my advice as a mexico city born and raised: go somewhere else too…
Some things I would recommend doing:
- soccer game at either estadio azteca or CU
- centro histórico is a must and makes me crazy mad some people just don’t set foot there…
- xochimilco
- mercado de plantas de coyoacán
- some other classic/ beautiful neighborhoods to visit: narvarte, escandon, san rafael, santa maría la ribera and del valle. have fun!
