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)
Unnameable Books (many people have said this already but want to +1 it! my local shop!)

i had it for a little over a year until i was like wow this is actually terrible! i genuinely think it has negatively impacted society by ruining people’s attention spans, having a horrific algorithm, and most of all by the most mind-numbing or outright harmful trends -
fake words that people now use IRL (“unalive”), trad wife tiktok, shein hauls, body-focused fitness vids that encourage fatphobia and unhealthy habits, shallow political/feminist theory and queer discourse, “alpha male” podcaster tiktok, encouraging overconsumption in general, trends ruining local spots or niche things… the list goes on
