Housing Works Bookstore Cafe is an extraordinarily unusual and endearing place. The two-level space--which stocks a range of literary fiction, nonfiction, rare books and collectibles--is a peaceful spot for solo relaxation or for meeting friends over coffee or wine. All proceeds from the café go to providing support services for homeless people living with HIV/AIDS. The premises also host an interesting array of literary events.
