powerHouse Books

A bookshop that can open your heart and your brain. A very good selection of titles, many independent choices and a lot of light

Decent book selections and ideal location I will say the 2 woman in the front didn’t speak to me at all. I even went to the books in the front, knocked some down on accident and she didn’t even bat her eye. I felt unwelcome to be honest. Won’t be going back.

Very cute bookshop located directly across from the Manhattan Bridge Overpass. The kids section looked vast and well organized. The adult fiction section was a little disorganized but they had a wide selection. Great spot to stop if shopping in Dumbo

So happy to have a bookshop in my work neighborhood. I love getting the staff recs. Very airy pleasant space, nice to browse. I never make it to any events but they seem to be a big draw! I always get the kids in my life, gifts here!

Very interesting selection. I’ll definitely be back.

The best bookstore I've ever been to. Curated selection, the Apple Store of bookstores, every table is filled with great books and you'll want them all. Hats off to whoever their buyer is and/or whatever their curation model is. Can't recommend this place enough. One of my favorite places in New York City. They also host awesome author events.

Cute, hip place with plenty of nice present/souvenir items, a bit overpriced though.
