About
Bluestockings Cooperative Bookstore is the only bookstore in New York run by and for queer, trans, and sex worker communities. It doubles as an activist center, community space, and café, with a strong focus on mutual aid like harm reduction support and non-judgmental resource research. The vibe is grassroots and welcoming, with a curated selection of LGBTQ books that you won't find at chain stores.
The café serves coffee, making it a comfortable spot to linger. Because it's a cooperative, the space feels communal rather than commercial. If you're exploring bookstores in the area, you might also check out the nearby Strand, but Bluestockings offers something distinctly political and supportive. Visit for the books, stay for the sense of community.
