Since its infancy, Hue-Man quickly emerged as a major player in the cultural life of Harlem, becoming a community hub for local New Yorkers as well as a national mecca for intellectual pursuits. Informative, enlightening, and enriching, the bookstore boasts 23 to 25 calendar events per month.

Hue-Man offers the traditional atmosphere of a bookstore, which is warm and inviting, yet modern in its design and æsthetically pleasing. The store features the work of African-American authors, a variety of non-ethnic titles, and an extensive children’s collection.
