The Strand is opening a new bookstore and cafe near Lincoln Center next month
Yes, The Strand will officially take ownership of the Shakespeare & Co. location at 2020 Broadway, between 69th and 70th Streets, near Lincoln Center. After moving into the space on June 1 to restock and complete minor renovations, the 2,500-square-foot new outpost of The Strand—a beloved NYC chain that already has locations at 828 Broadway and 450 Columbus Avenue, as well as kiosks in Central Park and LaGuardia Airport—will open to the public in early July, per owners.
'Shakespeare & Co. has been an invaluable and treasured resource on the West Side since the 1980s and in 2018 opened a store near Lincoln Center to build on this tradition. The Strand Book Store aims to honor and continue this legacy as we expand our presence on the Upper West Side with the addition of this new store. And of course, all current Shakespeare & Co. booksellers and baristas will retain their employment with us,' said The Strand's owner Nancy Bass Wyden, whose family has owned the legendary bookstore for three generations.
'We cannot wait to deepen our commitment to the Upper West Side by offering all the great things The Strand is known for: exquisite curation of new, used, and rare books, our Blind Date with a Book program, Studio Strand and other bookish merchandise, expert bookseller recommendations, and our extensive event programming for children and adults,' she added.
Along with shelves upon shelves of books—though it's unclear if the new storefront will boast the brand's signature "18 Miles" of books—The Strand at Lincoln Center will also serve as a café serving

Collection in-store will be available from Friday, August 29, and those who miss out can look for it in stores from Thursday, September 4 while stocks last. Where did Lidl get its name? Lidl was set up in Germany in 1930 when Josef Schwarz became a partner in a company called Südfrüchte Großhandlung Lidl & Co. This had been established by Anton Lidl since at least 1858 under the name & Cie, specialising in the sale of exotic fruits. Schwarz renamed the company Lidl & Schwarz KG and expanded into a food wholesaler. In 1977, under his son Dieter Schwarz, the Schwarz Group began to focus on discount markets and larger supermarkets. Dieter wasn't keen on using his own name for this, as the name Schwarz-Markt translates to 'black market'. Recommended reading: He wanted to use the name of his father's former business partner, but legal reasons prevented him from doing so. When he discovered a newspaper article about a painter and retired schoolteacher Ludwig Lidl, he bought the rights to the name from him for 1,000 German marks. From there, the Lidl name was used, and it expanded into many countries over time.
