Signage alert: Bocabierta on 3rd Street

Photos by Stacie Joy

The sign is up for Bocabierta, the incoming independent Spanish-language bookstore coming to 138 E. Third St. between Avenue A and First Avenue. 

The shop will specialize in Spanish-language books and English translations, with a selection of new, used and rare titles, including works from independent publishers.

The shop is from the team behind Codex Books, the curated used bookstore over on Bleecker at the Bowery. 

No word yet on an opening date. 

Here's a look inside...
You can find more about Bocabierta on its website... or Instagram.
High Vibe closed in this storefront in 2023 after nearly 30 years in business.
