Archivia, the long-lamented art, architecture and design bookstore that shut its doors on the Upper East Side six years ago, has reopened on Lexington Avenue, four blocks from its original location. The store, which was a regular haunt of curators from the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Frick, as well as a slew of designers, has doubled its size, to 800 square feet, and is done in blond wood with a Verner Panton chandelier.

Archivia Books, 993 Lexington Avenue (72nd Street), (212) 570-9565 or www.archiviabooks.com.
