116 E 59th Street, New York, NY

Argosy is one of the small handful of bookshops I’ve visited over the years that I would call a cultural destination. One of the oldest still-running bookstores in America, having opened in 1925 by the same family that runs it today, Argosy is as much a beautiful destination experience as it is a place to buy a book. Tucked between skyscrapers in upper midtown east near the southeast corner of Central Park and Bloomingdales, this bookstore is a must-visit for any bookworm.
