Nestled in New York City's vibrant NoMad neighborhood at 1133 Broadway, the Rizzoli Bookstore stands just three blocks north of the cultural hub of Madison Square Park. Surrounded by a dynamic atmosphere featuring upscale retailers like Eataly and Marimekko, renowned restaurants including 11 Madison Park and The Breslin, and iconic hotels like Ace and NoMad, Rizzoli eagerly contributes to this lively environment.
With over fifty years of history, including twenty-nine at its previous 57th Street location, Rizzoli Bookstore holds a distinguished reputation as one of the premier independent booksellers in America. Specializing in illustrated books covering architecture, interior design, fashion, photography, cookery, fine and applied arts, literature, and foreign language titles, Rizzoli has been a literary landmark in New York City. It continues to attract important authors and book enthusiasts from around the world.
Established in 1964 and relocated to its 57th Street location in 1985, Rizzoli's former six-story townhouse exuded a facade of sober classicism that belied the elegant interior within. Ornate details such as cast iron chandeliers, intricately decorated vaulting, and a luminous Diocletian window provided a serene setting for book lovers amidst the bustling energy of Midtown Manhattan. Now, as a proud member of the NoMad community, Rizzoli Bookstore looks forward to continuing its legacy as a cherished destination for literary enthusiasts and celebrated authors alike.
