The 11,300-square-foot bookstore will be the first retail tenant in the base of the Steiner East Village condoplex, where the storefront has remained vacant since residents began moving in eight years ago.
A few other details:
• This outpost is also hiring booksellers.
• This Barnes & Noble will not have a cafe.
• The Avenue A location has its own Instagram account.

I'm glad to see more bookstores moving to the neighborhood, but my favorite bookstore in the area remains P&T Knitwear down on Orchard Street (below Houston.) https://www.ptknitwear.com/
Whether you like big brand retailers or not... B&N will clean up that corner and bring pedestrian traffic to the other stores in the area.
I'm happy to hear they don't have a cafe. This means even less competition for Rabbit across the street. Buy a book in either place, enjoy that book at Rabbit!
I'm excited this block will finally have some retail after what must be a decade.
I'am also happy to see another bookstore in our hood. It beats having to walk past that dilapidated area with trash and graffiti for almost a decade. And at the very least, more of our fellow neighbors will be well read.
