about us

Since 1946 The Dolphin Bookshop has distinguished itself as an independent bookstore for Port Washington, New York, a waterfront community on the North Shore of Long Island. This unique shop is a neighborhood gem which draws people from Manhattan to the East End of Long Island. The perfect gathering place, The Dolphin has hosted book readings and signings by many distinguished authors and celebrities including J.K. Rowling. Our charming setting allows for even more events such as kids' programs, book club meetings, fundraisers and poetry readings.
