super-friendly (and cute) helpful saleswomen, amazing products in stock! go there & make yourself happy!

run by a incredibly awesome collective of activists, with the help of a lot of lovely volunteers (i totally would be one if i lived in ny!).

they carry a wide range of books on topics like queer- & gender studies, political theory, radical politics, crafting and cooking, global capitalism, diy, feminism, police and prisons, history, democracy studies, and black liberation, alternative parenting ... as well as children's books, magazines & zines, comics, alternative menstrual products, t-shirts and everything you need for your radical lifestyle.

also they host events like readings, workshops, performances almost every night (!), so check out their event calender on the website.

besides that, bluestockings is also a fair trade cafe, you can have a coffee or tea (made by the sweetest staff ever) and vegan sweets while sitting in a cosy chair and thumbing through a book that might help you changing the (or at least your) world.

quite weird... name. i liked their selection and the staff was super nice.
