Eat (And Drink) Your Way Through Literary Brooklyn
Molasses
Yes, Brooklyn (and even just Bushwick) has a pretty astounding number of independent bookstores, and all of them are worth visiting. But as far as we know, only one of them actually serves drinks on-site, and this should be acknowledged. And even without their low-priced beer and wine (which you can pay for pretty easily if you sell them enough used books), Molasses’ expertly put together selection of used books (including a $1 rack), excellent coffee, and continual support of local authors (the small space plays host to quite a few readings) render it a destination in its own right.
