This traditionally Slavic neighborhood has a storied history, starting out as farmland before turning into the culturally diverse hotspot it is now. Home to both a waterfront of warehouses and close-knit family communities to the East, the area has seen a burst of new businesses and curious dwellers alike.
Word is an independent bookstore that opened its doors in 2007. They carry a fantastically large collection of books for such a small space. Everything from cookbooks to children's books, and old classics to New York Times best sellers. They excel in paperback fiction, which takes up a sizable portion of the shelf space. Your best bet is to keep an open mind when looking for a book. You'll probably find a hidden gem that you didn’t know existed.
