IDLEWILD BOOKS

Chelsea, Lower Manhattan

CATEGORY shops & services

Sunlight spilling through the massive windows of a second-story loftlike space turns this eclectic bookshop into a soul-enriching escape. Idlewild Books specializes in travel guidebooks, so you can explore the world by browsing the shelves. Moreover, many country sections have biographies of famous native sons and daughters, or literary works by writers from those countries. So the Russia section could include a bio on Vladimir Putin, while the Argentina section holds titles by world-renowned Jorge Luis Borges. A scattering of sofas and chairs invites getting cozy with a good country. There’s also a selection of tabletop globes to spin, and a friendly, well-traveled young staff for a bit of chatting if you are in the mood.
