Our wedding was always going to be unconventional and Housing Works was the absolute perfect venue for what we wanted. We had about 135 attendees (invited 160) and did a cocktail style dinner. Tomasz was extremely accommodating to our many requests, flexible to our needs and responsive throughout the process. The staff was amazing -- you truly can't beat the location, service or ambiance for the venue price PLUS your venue fees go to a wonderful mission and cause.

It's a very sweet place. They don't let you sit at the table if you don't buy anything from the cafe. The coffees were definitely not good, but the place was very sweet and very nice for studying.

There are no books worth buying more than I thought... It's just a good place to take pictures.

All the books there are donated by publishers and regular, everyday people - so as a result, housing works doesn't have an inventory of all the books in the store
