Love a good page-turner? East City Bookshop is back open and ready for bookworms of all ages. There’s something so calming about turning the physical pages of a book, so if you’re in need of a new zen hobby, consider reading! East City Bookshop is locally owned and operated and has been a staple for locals since it opened in 2016. Now more than ever it’s important to skip Amazon and support this local business near your luxury apartment in DC.

When you enter the store, you’ll be welcomed by rows and rows of bookshelves filled with things to discover. The books are organized by section to more easily find what you’re looking for. They have a kids’ section, travel section, mystery section—the list goes on. There are two floors to explore and they also have some fun DC-themed gifts and handmade greeting cards as well for special occasions. Don’t want to shop in-store? That’s OK—you can still browse and purchase online!
