P&T Knitwear Bookstore & Coffee
Bindery Books hosted the Spring Releases at P&T Knitwear Bookstore and Coffee. I visited the store early so I knew where I was going.
About P&T Knitwear
In 1952, founder Bradley Tusk's grandfather, Hymie Tusk, and his business partner Mike Pudlo opened the original P&T Knitwear, a small shop selling sweaters and
collared shirts at 37½ Allen Street in New York. Check it out in the photo!) The two men survived the Holocaust and met in a Displaced Persons Camp in Germany after the war. They emigrated to the US, determined to create better lives for themselves and their families through sheer grit and hustle. When they first opened on the Lower East Side, Pudlo and Tusk couldn't even afford enough merchandise to fill the store. They stocked the shelves with empty boxes, hoping to give the illusion of
a bustling business. Soon, their creativity and fearlessness paid off. Today's P&T Knitwear honors our namesake by giving back to the very same neighborhood that made Tusk and Pudlo's story, and so many others' like them,

This was a good choice to host an event!
I loved the space and how much character the whole store had. Books were everywhere with various types of shelving.
It was just nice and welcoming. Waves at Lucy Score
Loved the bookcase of recommendations.
