Tomorrow (Nov. 9) at 9 a.m., Book Club makes its debut at 197 E. Third St. between Avenue A and Avenue B.
As we've been reporting, this bookstore-cafe is the work — two years in the making — of an East Village couple, Erin Neary and Nat Esten.
EVG contributor Stacie Joy stopped by yesterday for a quick look at the space before its soft opening tomorrow...

The book portion of the storefront will carry a broad selection of adult fiction, non-fiction and a children's section ...

The space features an area for sitting and reading ... and a cafe serving MUD coffee. (They were approved for a beer-wine license, though that has yet to be issued.) Expect some community events and readings in the weeks/months ahead. You can follow their Instagram account for updates... or their website.
Meanwhile, they'll be open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. tomorrow...
