Mast Books now open in its new corner space on Avenue A



Several readers have noted that Mast is making its corner debut today on Avenue A and Fifth Street...



They moved here from a few storefronts to the south.

Last night, Mast hosted a conversation between Genesis Breyer P-Orridge and Ryan Martin in the new space.

The new Mast Books space is shaping up



Mast Books has wrapped up its last weekend at 66 Avenue A ... ahead of a move this week a few storefronts away to 72 Avenue A. (Today is the last day at No. 66 with a 4:30 p.m. close.)

In the top photo, you can see how their new corner space at Fifth Street is looking, at least from the outside. Mast hopes to be open here by Friday.

Meanwhile, tonight, there's a book signing with Michael Stipe in which you can preview the new space...


Mast, which sells new, used and rare books, opened on A in May 2010.

Mast Books launches sale ahead of short move on Avenue A


[Photo from early April]

Back on May 1 in our "Empty corner storefronts on Avenue A" post, we noted that Mast Books was moving a few storefronts away to the larger space on Avenue A at Fifth Street.

This past weekend Mast announced a sale on Instagram ahead of the relocation...


The storefront has sat empty since East Village Pharmacy moved to 41 Avenue A in early 2011. (There was also the brief reign of Gestations.)

As previously noted, this is a good block for retail here between Fifth Street and Fourth Street … with a coffee shop/cafe (Croissanteria), a housewares shop (Lancelotti), a bookstore (Mast), a magazine shop (Ink on A), a gift shop (Alphabets), a dry cleaners … not to mention the nail salon, lottery place and the liquor store.

Mast opened on A in May 2010.
