The Lazy Dog started off as a bookstore specializing in contemporary art literature. It was the go-to place for books on graphics, fashion, photography, graffiti, illustration, music, and other urban trends. Now it has become a center for both amateur and recognized artists in art and graphic design fields. The original Lazy Dog is now a gallery. For the largest selection of books, posters, t-shirts, CDs, toys and other quirky items like their wide selection of miniature shoes and furniture, check out the Lazy Dog flagship store on Rue Charonne. If you're just looking for some time to kill, The Lazy Dog is a good stop. There are plenty of books to browse, like The T-shirt, A Collection of 500 Designs or The Typographer's Guide to the Galaxy. - Betsy Mikel
