Portrait of Bonnie with cookbooks

It has been my great pleasure to serve up a delicious selection of cookbooks to customers near and far for the past 27 years.

I can hardly believe it, but I’m almost back to normal after spinal fusion surgery in November. Thank you, HSS and Dr. Girardi!

I’m back on my bike and able to make local book deliveries on wheels again.

It took more than a year, but I bought about 1,000 books from the estate of Mimi Sheraton, New York Times restaurant critic, food writer, author, chronicler of New York life, and Greenwich Village neighbor, who died in 2023. The collection arrived in 45 boxes, and I’m gradually unpacking them. The subjects are wide-ranging, and I’m (re)discovering gems as I open the boxes. I’m posting photos of most of the books on Instagram and Facebook. If you don’t have access to either, I can send you the photos by email.

Mimi Sheraton’s personal files and papers will be archived at the New York Public Library—something to look forward to, as it will be quite a while before they’re accessible to the public.

Coming to the shop? I post my hours here every Sunday night, and you can also check them by phone; they may not be the same every week. (Ignore hours you see posted on Google; they don’t originate with me.)

If you can’t come in during open hours, make an appointment for a time that works for you. Please give me as much notice as possible.

Looking forward — to everything!
