Kitchen Arts & Letters

-

Open in Manhattan since 1983 — 1983! — Kitchen Arts & Letters manages to cram roughly 12,000 books into a 750-square-foot space. While founding partner Nach Waxman now focuses on out-of-print books, managing partner Matt Sartwell oversees an inventory (“up to the ceiling”) that’s far more than just recipe books, encompassi­ng many aspects of food culture, history and anthropolo­gy, as well as technical manuals and journals. The shop works in conjunctio­n with the nearby 92nd Street Y community center to host talks and tastings.
