David Chang: All Cookbooks, All the Time
Imagine a bookstore with only one section: "Cookbooks." Photo courtesy of Kitchen Arts & Letters, Inc.
For book lovers and food lovers, I recommend spending an afternoon at Kitchen Arts and Letters, at 94th and Lexington. They have an incredible selection of food writing and cookbooks (contemporary and rare), and they can also find out of print books for you. I can spend hours here. It’s my favorite store in New York City.
