Things to Do: Argosy Book Store, NYC


Argosy Book Store   116 East 59th St., 212-753-4455.  M-F 10am-6pm, and except in summer Sat 10am-5pm.  It seems like this cozy old-time bookstore has been around forever.  Indeed, it was founded in 1925 and is in its third generation of ownership by the same family.  On a rainy day, or in fact any day, it’s six floors  provide a divine browse through used books, signed and first editions, vintage prints, and antique maps.  And when you are done, Bloomingdale’s and its new Magnolia Bakery outlet is just across the street, where last time I visited I spotted Nicole Kidman waiting in line for a cupcake!  No KIDding!
