Fodor's Expert Review Berl's Brooklyn Poetry Shop

The only New York City bookstore dedicated exclusively to poetry, Berl's is a family-run affair. The husband-and-wife owners are alumni of the Brooklyn Flea, and they fill their former gallery space with books by local and national poets, display artwork by up-and-coming talent, and host readings by published poets and Brooklyn-based university students. Note that the shop doesn't open till 2 pm.
