Urban Aftermath Books

We had the opportunity to visit Urban Aftermath Books and I couldn't be more pleased with our visit. We were greeted by the shop owner Hassan and he shared the story of the business which includes the storefront, a warehouse and online operation.
The storefront is Hassan's curated space and what a space it is! Surrounded by gorgeous books there is also an eclectic mix of toys, office supplies ie old staplers, and vintage vinyl.
Hassan had also been building a poetry reading series that unfortunately Covid has ruined for the time being but hopefully he can start it back up later this year.
I found it such a great place and Hassan is a wealth of knowledge, able to recommend a new author or book. I highly recommend stopping in and we will definitely be back!

Such beautiful used books, some different languages, classics, beautiful and well cared for editions. I hear they also have an online database for their books that expand out of what they have in store

Urban Aftermath is a great place to find new favorite books. They have vast selection of different genres. They also buy old books as well so might as well give them those you don't like anymore than throwing them away. I always trust Urban Aftermath whenever I'm looking for some books.

Instant favorite place for books and other doodads like pins, records, and really cool old stuff. Hassan is very nice, inadvertently found exactly what I was looking for! What a skill to have :) the prices are the best and literally everything is in the store when it comes to good literature.

Beautiful collections of hard cover Shakespeare and other classics. The back room and entrance is a heaven of back pocket sized, soft cover books of classics, my go to spots. It’s only open on Saturday at the moment but the online store is always open. That being said, if you need incentive to go into the city for a bit, this is a must stop, I know I’ll be in as much as possible:)

Urban Aftermath has been my favorite book stores to visit for years. The conversation with the owner & every employee that ever worked there has been great. The prices have always been reasonable & I guarantee you'll be back ;) Dj 250

Funky little bookstore nestled in the Robinson Square neighborhood abutting the Empire State Plaza. Packed with books, vintage toys and ephemera; you never know what you're going to find and inventory is always evolving. Worth a special trip on Saturday.

It's new but has it's act together. I found a couple of interesting reads there and will return to haunt the place again next time I'm in Albany.

Hasan has something for every one, especially Gen Xers, retro fetish millennials and our children. Books. Art. Old radios. 16 bit video games. And lots of toys. Barrels and barrels of once loved characters, and their vehicles and dream houses.

A beautiful book shop owned by a wonderful man. It smells like books and being in there is so nostálgic. Next time I'm in Albany, I will definitely visit.

Awesome store. Has a wide variety of books and collectable items from different times. Good place to stop on a walk in center square neighborhood.

This place is an absolutely treasure chest, eclectic, mysterious hidden gems everywhere you turn. The owner is a gem as welll, very informative and charming.

A gem in Center Square, this quirky and delightful bookstore and art space is a must for lovers of literature and culture.

Great shop packed with records, books, toys and more.

Variety is the spice of life, And this place is spicy.
