Battery Park Book Exchange

Harrison and I have a FAVORITE bar in Asheville. It is a library, where you can sip on tasty wine/beer/champagne and browse all of the book collections while lounging in comfortable, fine furniture. Harrison is quite the book-collector, so he often brings his prized possessions into the venue seeking appraisal. All of the books are for sale, and we almost always leave with more than one purchase. We bring all of of family and friends here when they visit:
Harrison's sister, Beth, IS a true librarian:


Tonight, I met him here (I'm on their Wifi now, blogging) after work. They don't serve meals here, other than desserts and cheese platters, so you're welcome to bring in your own take-out. You are also welcome to order from the menus they keep at the bar from the restaurants around town. The staff will go out and pick up your order from your restaurant of choice, bring it back, and serve it to you using their flatware and china! Tonight we had takeout from Havana's. It's a Cuban restaurant nearby and we love their Cuban sandwiches and fried plantains. Harrison comes here at least once a week to study, appraise books, look for gifts, etc. This is our favorite place for dates! We lounge in one of the big Chesterfield sofas, sip on our Italian Sangiovese, and browse through countless books on architecture and interior design. We're ALWAYS designing our dream home!
Ring this little bell at your table, and the waitress will come for your order!
