Since 2017, the Orchard Street Reading Society has been meeting every other month to discuss an eclectic selection of cross-genre literature. While the shop on Orchard Street where we were based in now closed, the Orchard Street Reading Society lives on in a different form.

Since 2022, the Orchard Street Reading Society has been exclusively reading books across all genres that take place in New York City, or are written by New Yorkers. Each meeting takes place in the form of a field trip activity that has to do with the book we’ve read. We’ve done museum scavenger hunts, attended performances, taken classes, shared meals, gone to the movies together, and more. Everyone’s welcome!
