In bustling Hoboken, a wonderful book store and tea shop make the perfect afternoon getaway and you don’t have to pack your bags. In fact, you only have to travel about three blocks.

We’ll start the day at a little treasure of a bookstore. Little City Books is a bookseller with a lot of fans and when you step inside, you’ll know why.

The store has something for everyone, from kids to discerning adult readers. The shop opened in 2015 and it has become a community feature, with special events that support local writers.

Once you have your books in hand, it’s time to get a little beverage to enjoy with the first pages of your novel. Empire Coffee and Tea is waiting for you, a short stroll away.
