Been There, Done That!
Happy Tuesday! This week we are talking about bookish places we have visited. At first, I thought it would be quite difficult, but as I allowed the idea of what makes a bookish place expand, it became easier for me. I feel like I featured a lot of places in New York, but I grew up in Brooklyn and live about 30 minutes from the city. I have visited often. Not much variety as far as cities on my list, but I have a bunch of different types of bookish places. Sadly, I don't have pictures, but I feel these are all really popular and well know places.
- Trinity College - Epic library and the Book of Kells
- The Globe Theatre London - Theatre associated with Shakespeare
- The New York Public Library
- Platform 9 3/4 - From Harry Potter
- The New York Metropolitan Museum of Art - The Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basel E. Frankweiler
- Chicago - Not quite the dystopian city featured in Divergent
- The Strand - A really big bookstore
- Poet's Corner Westminster Abby - Charles Dickens among others are buried here
- Library of Congress
- The Boston Public Library
What bookish places have you visited?

I loved The Strand so much! I could've stayed there for days, lol
ReplyDeleteWe went when my daughter was in high school (in the early 10s) on our way to one of the Beautiful Creatures book events. Her and her co-blogger Noor were in heaven.
DeleteYou have visited so many of these places!
ReplyDeleteA lot in the same area. You gotta hit them all when you are near.
DeleteI've visited The New York Metropolitan Museum of Art, Chicago, and maybe the Library of Congress. Would love to visit The Boston Public Library, The Strand and The New York Public Library. Someday!
ReplyDeleteGrowing up in NYC and living in the tristate area makes NY very accessible for me. It would be a shame to miss out on hot spots nearby
DeleteI have visited the NY public library and The Strand but none the other places on our list, not in person anyway. It's just so much better to travel in books anyway.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day.
It definitely easier and cheaper to travel in the book
DeleteThe only one on your list that I've been to is Trinity College Library.
ReplyDeleteI am surprised because I know you have traveled in Europe (a few there from my London trip).
DeleteAll of them would make my list of places to visit.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your #TTT
My list is never ending of places I would love to see. If only we had the time (and money for me)
