Bluestockings is New York’s oldest and only queer, trans, and sex worker-run bookstore. Open since 1999, the space is well stocked with fiction and nonfiction titles concerned with queer New York, sexuality and gender studies, progressive interests, and more. Book clubs, readings, activist events, and more all take place here. A free store offers donated items for anyone in need, and various types of care kits (ranging from contraceptives to Narcan) are also on offer. The collective has also partnered with Henry Street Settlement to offer local queer history walking tours.
