MIDTOWN — Amazon’s second New York City bookstore is coming to West 34th Street across from the Empire State Building. 

The online retailer plans to open another brick-and-mortar Amazon Books shop at 7 W. 34th St., between Fifth and Sixth avenues, this summer, a spokeswoman said Tuesday.

Amazon is currently hiring store managers and sales associates for the outpost, she added.

In January, it was announced that Amazon would be opening its first New York City-based bookstore inside the Shops at Columbus Circle.

That store is slated to open this spring, Amazon's spokeswoman said Tuesday.

Amazon's first physical bookstore opened its doors in Seattle in 2015.
