Albertine

in response to Frances

I’m taking my 12 year-old daughter to New York in June to see Romeo and Juliet at the Delacorte Theatre. We’ll only be in the city briefly, and we need one other fabulous thing to do while we visit. She loves anything book related. I’d also love any recommendations for a nice hotel in walking distance of the theater, so upper east or west side. THX!

New York, NY

“Tucked away in the Payne Whitney Mansion on the Upper East Side, just down the street from the Met, is a strong contender for the most beautiful bookstore in New York. The focus is on works in French (it's part of the French Embassy's Villa Albertine), so an excellent place to get your copy of the Goncourt journals.”
