Most of our #HudsonValley exploration in recent years has been between the Newburgh / Beacon and Catskill / Hudson areas, partly because the southern counties are prohibitively expensive.

Today we're going to wander Westchester's bookstores for the hell of it, using this great list from Chronogram as our guide. How many can we hit in one trip?

Three bookstores and one dumpling house down.

My favorite: Bruised Apple Books in Peekskill, for my favorite kind of serendipitous browsing experience. 👍🏽

@glecharles Bruised Apple Books is a great name for a used bookstore. Looks like a fun place to explore. Love that vintage cover.
@tsutrav It's my favorite kind of used bookstore: a varied selection, well organized, built for serendipity. Plus, a solid CD and vinyl collection. We have a similar local one in Montclair Book Center.
