    If you are ever in NYC and have time to check this place out …. don’t bother.

    That picture looks great and is the entirety of what that “library’ has to offer. The whole place is a total nothing burger.

    Here’s a secret for free: in the newer building attached, there is a cafe. They have the best deviled eggs in the city.
