First there was Green Apple Books: Opened in 1967, it’s a literary institution. Now there’s Green Apple Books on the Park, perfectly situated for a morning browse along the Inner Sunset’s Ninth Avenue, just south of Golden Gate Park. Don’t be fooled by the narrow storefront — the shop reaches far into the interior space, and is big enough to be anchored by a dedicated children’s area. Like its sister store, it also hosts events featuring an impressive lineup of writers, including such recent guests as Karl Ove Knausgaard, Maggie Nelson, Aleksandar Hemon and Molly Antopol. Afterward, stroll down the street and into Urban Bazaar to browse fair-trade and quirky, locally made gifts — belts made from old bike tires, screen-printed owl tea towels — and admire the boutique’s charming little air plant and succulent nursery.
最早的青苹果书店(Green Apple Books)于1967年开业,是一家文学书店。现在又有了一家“在公园的青苹果书店”(Green Apple Books on the Park),很适合早上去逛逛。书店位于内日落区(Inner Sunset)的第九大道,金门公园(Golden Gate Park)的南边。别看它门面小——内部空间却十分宽敞,甚至还开辟出了一块固定的儿童专用区。和它的姐妹店一样,这里也会举办一些有名作家参与的活动,最近来过的有卡尔·奥韦·诺斯加德(Karl Ove Knausgaard)、麦琪·尼尔逊(Maggie Nelson)、亚历山大·埃蒙(Aleksandar Hemon),以及莫莉·安托波尔(Molly Antopol)。从书店出来,沿第九大道向前走,去Urban Bazaar杂货店逛逛。这是一家以公平贸易为主的商店,出售千奇百怪的本地手工艺品——用旧自行车轮胎做的腰带、丝网印刷的猫头鹰茶巾——还能欣赏到商店里迷人的空气绿植和多肉植物。
