This dazzler of a bookstore helms the northern end of Chelsea Market, and provides an intellectual party to match the vibrant fiesta going on in the market itself. The book selection is savvy, ranging from classic novels to current best sellers to intriguing non-fiction reads (including, yes, a well-curated selection of travel guides). The shop is colorful and well-laid out. But what makes Posman's so special is the friendly, book-loving crew who staff the store and make all browsers feel taken care of and welcome.
