I came upon this amazing shop while searching for a hard copy of the Atlantic for my Mom while she’s visiting because she wanted a specific article. I was surprised to find it’s nearly impossible to find hard copies of news in most of DC! I went to Kramer’s bookshop, but they don’t carry magazines. They pointed me to the Newsroom. What a gem! I felt like I was back in the Dupont Circle of two decades ago before all the franchises came in and Chipotlified everything. I had a lovely chat with the Kenyan and Guatemalan owners and ended up getting a bunch of magazines and newspapers. They were so kind- they gave me free recent copies of the Atlantic for my mom. There is something so soothing and cathartic about the smell and vibe of a news shop, and being able to turn pages and really take in content. I’ll definitely be back!
