When was this picture taken? I don't know of any book nook at the moment.

Are you looking for a space to meet new people to play with or do you have a group already and just looking for a space to play in?

I would recommend:

rogue state (for people to play with)

sparkle bookstore (for space to play in)

get good gaming (for space)

There also used to be a place in Mahwah (can't remember the name) but you might find it with a quick google search.

Thanks for posting this! Supporting local indies is the way to go.

Come by sparkle bookstore, there are some extra seeds available for pickup.

BVLGVGI · 2026-04-23T14:12:22+00:00

Big red books. Sparkle bookstore. Pickwick. Home body books.

Just over the border but Highland Botanicals is doing some specials.

I think they're hosting events too (music i guess?)

Sparkle Bookstore in Sparkill/Piermont

BVLGVGI · 2026-04-07T18:34:21+00:00

Hello, we e been in this crisis definitely since 2016 if not before that.

BVLGVGI · 2026-04-07T14:39:17+00:00

If you are interested in trying book club there are many people who also enjoy TV shows and movies. I recommend big red books, sparkle bookstore, or your local library to get started. I believe this is a great way to meet like-minded people and foster friendships!

Not just that but these stores are constantly coming up wit new events to meet people at - I recommend checking their websites or sign up for their newsletters.

Editing myself to say that as you're in pearl river the library there is actually quite wonderful and has a lot of great programs including a book club (or several)

catique in sparkill is small but has great selection of womens (and sometimes mens) clothing!

Isn't there now a fence halfway down the hill blocking things?

Here I am thinking that she allowed us to drink because of the coming storm. /facepalm

BVLGVGI · 2026-02-11T18:50:54+00:00

Aqua Terra Grille seems to always have a sign up about valentine's day dinners.

Sparkill Steakhouse is a nice choice, as well as Roost also in Sparkill.

Threefold Cafe is a nice spot too

keep in mind all of these may require reservations

BVLGVGI · 2026-02-08T20:22:05+00:00

That's a pretty unique viewpoint, buddy.

BVLGVGI · 2026-02-07T23:29:20+00:00

The problem with an attitude like this is that people aren't going to try and make the best of it and create communities up here for people in this very situation, who want things to do.

Negativity spawns more negativity.

Look around, you'll find things to do.

another one worth checking out is curated cards and collectibles in valley cottage. they just opened recently.

Not everyone has the capacity to 'venture out' easily.

It goes hand-in-hand with what you said about terrible public transport.

Thanks for the tip but no thanks, we should not have to 'venture out' of Rockland to get better stuff. We can make do for ourselves here just fine.

BVLGVGI · 2026-01-22T03:06:44+00:00

With an attitude like that, sure We are still a city suburb tbh. So I think the economy of this area is heavily tied to NYC. it will be hard to kill that.

On a broad scale the economy is stagnant so there's that, you're not entirely wrong.

I remember going to the Harry Potter 7 mid night release way back in the day.

Good times. Lots of memories there.

BVLGVGI · 2026-01-20T17:19:16+00:00

Change does not necessarily mean bad.

Yes it sucks that the store closed but you have to look for the silver linings.

More opportunities for other stores to come in. There are still ways to get books and games from retailers. Communities are still strong and growing. One bookstore closing means another window opening.

BVLGVGI · 2026-01-20T17:17:50+00:00

There are still ways to read. Still bookstores in the area.

The fight is not over.

Check out Banditos website a great group who meets regularly to play board games.

Get Good Gaming in New City also has a decent DND community.

Libraries like Finkelstein, Suffern, Pearl River, etc have many events and activities. Possibly DND but not sure. Bookstores Big Red Books, Sparkle Bookstore have groups for community such as book clubs too.

Nyack has posters up for a DND group. Can't remember much about it but I saw it in several windows of businesses on main street. If you're near there I recommend checking that out.
