"McNally Jackson is a downtown Mecca for book lovers, including passersby Nicole Hokayem, Rachael Yaeger, Katy Hallowell, and Laura Brown. Offering 20% off on current “indie bestsellers” (and 10% off picks from their well-read staff), you can still get a good deal while supporting one of the city’s last independent bookstores. They also carry an impressive selection of magazines and literary journals that you can flip through in their café. McNally’s event calendar is packed with appearances and readings by authors like Zadie Smith and Chris Kraus, but they're perhaps best known for their in-store printing press and self-publishing services." - Passerbuys
