Cherry Blue

Cherry Blue carries new and vintage magazines, fanzines, and indie print. The shop sits at 137 Rivington St in Manhattan’s Lower East Side, where scouts, artists, and passersby stop for the latest issues and obscure finds. Pulp fiction, graphic novels, and underground rags share shelf space with design quarterlies and culture zines—part rack, part gallery of voices outside the mainstream.

The staff can grab issues behind the counter, hold items for you to peruse later, or suggest titles tied to shows nearby. Comics fans often ask for back-issue runs, while tourists pick up last year’s style magazines as souvenirs of the neighborhood. Trade journals for gig workers and limited-run art books sit next to punk zines, too—there’s always a few surprises if you dig deep.
