Flight 001
96 Greenwich Avenue

The concept for Flight 001 (pronounced ‘flight one’) was dreamt up by Brad John and John Sencion during a flight to Paris. Realising that shopping for pre-travel essentials took up too much of their time, they envisaged a one-stop shop that would supply the stylish but time-poor traveller with all the travel accessories they could possibly want.

The Flight 001 store is designed in fun retro-modern fashion, with glowing lighting, curved walls and storage bins, designed to replicate the interior of a 747 airliner. Brad and John have thought of everything – the stock includes laptop cases, anti-jet-lag pills, portable neck rests, and disposable ipod chargers. The Essentials Wall contains small, often-replaced items such as luggage tags, and naturally there is a section of high-end luggage from brands such as Samsonite and Rimowa.

Open since 1927, this Greenwich Village landmark is a treasure trove for book lovers. It claims to have 18 miles of books on its three floors, making it the perfect location to while away an afternoon.

The Strand Bookstore is famed for its vast collection of used, rare and out-of-print books, and is a contender for the title of world’s largest used bookstore. Although famous for its chaotic disarray, it has a number of good speciality sections, including an excellent collection of art books and a selection of antique books. The store has long been a mecca for local artists, and the eccentric clientele is often as interesting as the stock.

All books, used and new, are offered at very reasonable prices. If you are looking for something in particular, phone ahead – the staff will check if it’s available and call you back within hours.
