Barnes & Noble Closing Lincoln Center Store

Just as we learn that Trader Joe’s on West 72 Street has an official opening date of Sept. 20, we receive the bad news that the Barnes & Noble megastore at 66th and Broadway will be closing due to high rents.

There’s something about a trip to a huge bookstore that always leaves me inspired to learn and do. Knowledge is power, and that store was a multi-floor power vault. (With your occasional “Confessions of an Heiress” by Paris Hilton thrown in.)

So, yeah, this is sadder than, say, losing a Foot Locker.

Thankfully, B&N says it will continue to seek an alternate space on the UWS.

And now we can start the pool on how long the Lincoln Triangle space will go unoccupied.
