Jersey City’s Word bookstore is now open in Hamilton Park. The independent book shop’s new address is 29 McWilliams Place. (They’re steps away from Milk Sugar Love). The bookstore was formerly located along the Jersey City Pedestrian Plaza at 123 Newark Avenue.

News of the relocation and opening was first posted on the Silverman Instagram account. Word’s new location — former home of Jersey City Bicycle Co. — is approximately 1,200 square feet. That’s less than half the size of Word’s Newark Avenue storefront, according to Shelf Awareness. However, that will allow Word owner Christine Onorati and her team to be “a little leaner” and a “little more curated.”

Meanwhile, Jersey City Bicycle Co. has moved to Swift & Co., the new Silverman rental at 170 Erie Street.
