In this era of vanishing neighborhood bookshops, Three Lives and Company in New York City’s Greenwich Village neighborhood is rare survivor. For four decades, this West Village indie has been quietly offering an exceptionally well-curated selection of literary fiction, narrative nonfiction, travel and more to an appreciative clientele made up of locals and tourists in the know. Owner Toby Cox is proud of the bookstore’s designation as a “pocket of civility” in the city. If you are visiting New York, take the time to stroll around Greenwich Village, grab a coffee at Stumptown, hang out in Washington Square Park, and browse Three Lives at 154 W. 10th street between 6th and 7th avenues.
I know this store well. BTW my husband leads history tours in Greenwich Village.
Long live indie book stores!
Let’s vote with our money and buy books from our neighborhood bookstores.❤️

Big fan of indie bookstores, and what a great area!
