Located in Chinatown, Manhattan, Yu and Me Books is a bookstore that showcases immigrant stories and creates a home for the community
Serving books, coffee, beer & wine
Overjoyed to see Yu & Me back in their home. It’s cozy inside, and a respite from the bustling neighborhood. You can sense that someone has really thought about and put forth the wonderful selection of books. Love that you can pick up a debut novel by a local author and browse classics and cult favorites alike. If I lived closer, I’d be more of a regular. Thankful for this gem 💛
Very cute bookstore! Lots of variety of Asian literature including South Asian and Arab lit. Also has a cute selection of stickers. Place is small but that’s to be expected as a small independent bookstore in the neighborhood.
The people who work there are extremely nice!! I asked them about South Asian books and they immediately brought me so many! We chatted while we were there and they were just wonderful people. I almost asked if they wanted to be friends and maybe exchange socials but didn't wanna put them in an awkward position at work. 10/10
My favorite Chinatown gem! I’m a big bookstore enthusiast and this place holds a special place in my heart. Focused on supporting diverse stories and creating a space for community, it’s a must if you’re in the area.
