In the heart of Soho, on sleepy Crosby street, lies one of the most unique thrift stores in the city. Unbeknown to the hordes of tourists on the neighboring Broadway, lies a thrift book store haven complete with its own cafe. 
Housing Works book store is in a beautiful building of typical Soho architecture. The store is very large and has a great book collection - all second hand.
For the casual browser, the books are curated into helpful sections at the front of the bookstore, wittily described:
As well as being a fabulous bookstore, Housing works bookstore is also a great place to work, study and meet friends. It has a fabulous cafe, complete with Wi-Fi, and a great cafe where you ca grab a coffee or a cold beer. Housing works bookstore has an action packed events programme, with readings, discussions and Moth sessions (competitive story slams) - I highly recommend.
its basically a library! the city lights bookstore in SF is pretty similar I would say
