The Housing Works Used Book Café in the Soho district of Manhattan was completed in 1996. As described in the Village Voice on July 4, 2000, "the store has a spiritual aura that inspires generosity" and "an almost eerie quietude and generosity". Like the Housing Works Thrift Shops, the Used Book Cafe has pioneered the use of good contextual design in creating a successful entrepreneurial venture for a pioneering not-for-profit.
