Worth the trip: Kitchen Arts & Letters

I’ve been reading Edible Brooklyn and Edible East End for a couple of years now, so when the first ever issue of Edible Manhattan hit newsstands, I picked one up right away.
It’s not free like the other two (actually rang in at a pricey $7), but I did get a worthwhile tip on the Upper East Side bookstore, Kitchen Arts & Letters, which I visited on Friday afternoon.
Super knowledgeable staff with a stock of more than 11,000 cooking titles on every type of food, drink and international cuisine. Well, except no Yemenite cookbooks, which my husband has been looking for. But I did find an ice cream book and “The Whole Beast: Nose to Tail Eating,” which I’ve heard about from a lot of foodie types recently. Will have to share the best recipes when I get cooking.
Overall, great spot to pick up cookbooks for a home collection, or better still, for unique holiday gifts.
