Animal collective: Pillow-Cat Books coming to 9th Street

Updated: The shop opened on Sept. 16.

Pillow-Cat Books, specializing in books for animal lovers, is opening this fall at 328 E. Ninth St. between First Avenue and Second Avenue. 

Here's more about the shop via a recent Instagram post:
Pillow-Cat Books is the first animal-focused bookshop in New York ... it is small, green, and filled with used, vintage and antique books in several languages and of all types: art, photography, design, literature, comics, children, etc. The books' only common denominator is that an animal or animal character has to be present.
Look for a September opening.

    9th Street between Avenue A and 2nd Avenue are such 2 perfect blocks that will be so much better when free car parking will be removed from them: the space can be used to extend the width of the sidewalks who are unbelievably narrow (you go try pushing a stroller on 9th Street on your way to Tompkins Square Park, The thought of using a wheelchair on these sidewalks is just depressing). Then the roadway will have room for delivery and utility trucks to operate without blocking the bike lane, without slowing down traffic, without blocking the M8 bus stops all day, every day.

      Just about any block in the neighborhood has a mixture of narrow and wider sidewalks with any given block. it revolves around whether a building has entrance steps to the apartments. Ninth street is no different from most of the others in terms of width and a mixture of residential and commercial

    The Ninth Street sidewalks are the worst. I'm all for removing the parking and expanding the sidewalks but I'm not optimistic.
