Inthe city ofNew Yorkyou are not just limited to one particular activity or store. When tourists visit they don't onlygo toTimes Square or Central Park.Shop lovers don't have to only shop inthe streets of Soho or 5th Avenueand book lovers are not confined tothe literary walls ofBarnes and Noble or The Strand book store.

Lucky for them, New York is not only limited to those chain brandbook stores. Book lovers can rejoice in finding popular andone of a kindbooks in other stores as well such as independentbook stores(such asPosmanBooks)and thrift shops (such as Salvation Army).

PosmanBook is an independent chain with two locations in the city. One of thethree locations isbased insideChelsea Market (across theChelsea Flea Market) and one inRockefeller Center.

Inside you will not only find books, totes andchildren’ssectionbut also wrapping paper and greeting cards. Posman Books is a decent size book store and as you make your way around the store you will notice that although there is wrapping paperand reading glassesthere is no sale section orreligiousbooks sold. Instead religious books can be found in the 'inspiration' section and the sale sectionis recognized as the'bargain' section.

The company generates a decent amount of customers and it is not only to buy books. InPosmanBookswebsite viewers will find eventshosted by 92y Unterberg Poetry CenterwhichPosmanBooks is the official bookseller for.The events are anythingfrom author meet-upsto book readings.

One of the staffsfor the Chelseafranchise, Andy Owen, has been working for the company for over 15 years. Owen's favorite part about working in a book store is the ambiance. Asthe store is slowly filling up with its afternoon weekend rushof customers it's obvious to see the dedication that Owen projects to his work and to hiscustomer.

Owen's reflective glasses show a glimpse of the many reasons why he loves his job. He welcomes his customers with a hello anda smile even ashe is behind the register helping other customers."I have been working here for over three years now. This never gets boring," said Owen.

In with that rush of afternoon customers I spotEmily Keener standing in front of the greeting cards table talking animatedly with her friend Helen Chase. Keener lives and works around the Chelsea area soChelsea Market is her go-to hang out place.

When Keener entersthe book store her favorite thing to do is browsethe 'picks' section which is located at the front of the store.Keener credits the flow of the store for keeping her interested in continuing to browse. "I try to come to this bookstore every weekend, if possible. I want to support the independent store franchise as much as I can," said Keener.

It is the exact flow and friendly staffers that will make customers and readerenthusiasts excited about visitingPosmanBooks.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
