Strand Bookstore
Strand Bookstore is a used bookstore on Broadway south of Union Square. While far closer to NYU, its merchandise (particularly its shoulder bags) can be found swinging from the shoulder of many a Columbia and Barnard girl. Why they made the trek to Strand when a perfectly good shoulder bag can be purchased at Book Culture is anybody's guess. God, even Barack Obama spent time idling here when he was at the College.
