Specializing in travel and world literature, Idlewild Books in Union Square is your best bet if you’re looking to research an upcoming trip to the Far East or brush up or your Spanish skills. This independent bookstore carries an expansive range of guidebooks, novels and histories, neatly organized by country in its sunny second-floor space. The store offers language classes and book club discussions as well. Fun fact: Idlewild takes its name from the original New York International Airport (renamed JFK in 1963).
