I love living vicariously through these videos! I live in a remote small town with one crappy bookstore so all my book buying is done online. Would love to visit these spots next time I'm in NYC. Thanks for the video

[@mariapalmer6783]

Round of applause for Oleg👏👏👏 a true STAR

[@ursalemii]

I only recently discovered you and im so glad i did! You're a booktuber like no one else! Ive been binging all your videos cuz im so in love with your content and personality

[@tiachu]

omggg cannot wait for the book shopping but the STYLING CONTENT IS SUCH A SLAY

[@strncatt]

I loved this tour! and I love your vlog Anna! You're the best truly! I think your personality is what makes this vlog way different, unique and better than the other generic nyc vlogs. I can see this channel growing way beyond the 30k pretty fast. I hope you don't change.

If I were to visit lady Manhattan in the near future, I would want someone like an Ana Wallace, a book sniffer to serenade to me, her sing-songy words raining on me like heavenly pigeon guano from the trees. Best wishes to you And in other news: I love how KZbinrs these days play the part of freelance models for companies and corporate sponsors. Gig economy keeps on getting bigger and better, what do you know!

[@yankee04]

Love the Drama Book Shop. I never leave empty-handed. Awesome concept for the Book Cellar. What a great idea! Appreciate the video on all the bookstores. Thanks so much.

[@ChildofChrist1983]

As a fellow female bookworm and a supporter of our local libraries and bookstores, as well as a lover of both coffee and pickles, I can attest to everything you’ve said. And while I’m more of a backpack gal, I’m not shy when it comes to rocking a tote bag either, especially when grocery shopping and when paying a visit to the library and bookstore. And your energy and humor is what all of us who are in the Northern Hemisphere currently need to lift our spirits through all this Summer heat. Only thing missing for me was the pizza. Nevertheless, I shall give this video a 10/10. In honorable memory of the pizza absence and for everything else. Subscribed!

[@mildrumpus]

Well, I learned something today - and I thought I had been to all the bookstores here in the city. Had no idea about the Book Cellar. Will have to check it out soon! Thanks for sharing. Happy Reading! 😎📚👍

[@catherinelachaine4432]

Light Years by Salter 💛 I read it a couple years ago and I still think about it often. Masterful. Heartbreaking.

Perfect timing! I’m flying into New York on Saturday!

[@yumiyumiya]

[@shess1640]

Thanks for showing love on some of our more unique bookstore! I been to the Drama Book Store several times. And can't wait to check out the other ones you highlighted.

[@AnaWallaceJohnson]

Thank you! Hope you found some you’d maybe never been to before :)))

[@portcitybrewer]

Stellar video! So well shot, edited and produced Ana! You have talent and show NYC so well! Bravo!

[@ZorianaMerezheniuk]

At any time of the day I drop everything and watch your channel! thank you for you

[@AnaWallaceJohnson]

!!!!! I love ya for this so much. Thank YOU!

[@bog-entities]

So real - I thoroughly enjoyed spending time at the Drama Book Shop save for the nightmare that is Times Square. Loved being surrounded by plays especially at cheaper prices and larger quantities than I can usually find them at other stores!

[@AnaWallaceJohnson]

Agreed! And the bathroom! Really, really enjoyed that spot. I’m surprised I hadn’t been sooner. So calming compared to the chaos outside

[@emilyslack6209]

i actually love your content so much so so fresh

[@AnaWallaceJohnson]

thank you so much. That really means so much ♥️♥️

[@alexandrkurnakov9609]

I’ve been to all these stores before, good choice! You should come to Everything Goes if you ever in Staten Island!

[@alenemarie1726]

Book Club is such a cool place! The vibes are so nice and it’s such a chill low key place. I hung out there recently with my husband and I sat in the back knitting while my husband read

[@AnaWallaceJohnson]

Oh yes, that is absolutely a knitting vibe kind of place. The back area is so perfect

[@katieh1752]

My local library also has a book cellar!

[@HeatherB81]

You are hilarious!!! Loved this!!

[@AppleCandy99100]

thank you for another lovely video ❤️

[@jendbrown]

The Drippy tote is so good. I’ve been interested in Songmont as a brand but wasn’t interested in the popular styles: the Luna bag and Song bag. I’m glad to see another style.

[@AnaWallaceJohnson]

I honestly love it. I’m on a train rn and it’s sitting on my lap as I type this. Such a great everyday bag.

[@user-iz6cc6lz3j-Vickie]

Cute Oleg. Tell him we want to see him more. I loved the book cellar and the pickle bookstore. I wish we had places like that. I live in a rural area no bookstores. The nearest city has a Barnes and noble and a McKay’s used bookstore and that’s it. The library about 30 miles away has a book sale the first Saturday of the month. I love the trips. I have never been to New York but I love seeing the different areas. Great video

[@deblawrence8341]

I agree! Oleg is such a doll!!! 😍

The way i gasped when i saw this upload. YAYYYY

[@bonniehickey9978]

Thanks for doing this! I was going to visit the Morgan Library/ Museum this summer and I’ll try to get to a couple of these on the same day! 👏 Oleg!

[@AnaWallaceJohnson]

Morgan Library is stunning. Friday is pay what you wish days, I believe. I also suggest The Frick-my favorite museum in nyc.

[@bonniehickey9978]

@@AnaWallaceJohnson That’s a great idea! I went to the Frick years ago. It’s so beautiful.

Another great video to add to the list Tho I’d really like to see more reading vlogs!! Also can I suggest a “what I eat in a day” video? Really love those as well

I'm planning a trip to NYC when I finish my masters degree in library science next year. I've planned for the majority of the trip to be about checking out as many funky little bookstores and stationary shops as possible. I'll be sure to add all of these to my list.

[@AnaWallaceJohnson]

Oh baby! There are so many great stationary stores. I live in Greenpoint, Brooklyn and there’s at least two that I know of.

[@AnaWallaceJohnson]

Dream collab! He gives me Asmr when I watch him haha.

[@radiantchristina]

Ana in Manhattan - the series I never knew I needed. Oleg did a fabulous job filming. umm...police activity at the pickle place? I was concerned for you, but since you finished the vlog I assume all is well . :) I feel like all my dreams have come true - a place where pickles and books co-exist. Why is this not a thing everywhere! ? !

[@bluechocolatesky]

I loved this video and seeing the Drama Book Shop. While I love the new location, I sometimes miss the old one (and seeing Chester) lol.

[@AnaWallaceJohnson]

I miss the old one too! Felt very homey. Totally different vibe in the new one, but still a good one!

[@robinrothstein]

Anyone remember the original DBS above the “gentlemen’s club” 😉 on 7th Ave?
