Coliseum Books is New York's largest independent general bookstore, and it has re-opened at 11 W 42nd St, between 5th and 6th Avenues, across from the New York Public Library and Bryant Park. The bright and airy new location has an estimated 100,000 titles, with particularly strong selections in travel, history, performing arts, and bargain books. The new store also boasts an adjoining cafe for readings, art exhibits and book signings. A quintessential New York institution since 1974, Coliseum was named Best Bookstore in New York by New York Magazine in 1996, and garnered a spot on Pete Hamill's list of reasons for staying in New York (New York Post, 1991).
