The former Secretary of State, joined by longtime aide Huma Abedin, hugged an unidentified woman to say goodbye and headed straight for her car, avoiding questions about the current crisis in Ukraine.
The Emmy-winning actress walked out of the bookstore apart from Clinton and smiled broadly as she waved at the cameras.
She also wore a dark jacket for the cold weather with a black dress and black boots underneath.
It is reported that the two were filming an unknown project in the bookstore.
This winter, Harghitai was seen in New York filming her hit Chengen drama, which debuted for the first time in 1999 and is currently in its 23rd season.
This was not the first time Clinton had been spotted in New York recently.
Clinton, who now spends most of her time at the Chapaqua home she shares with her husband Bill in upstate New York, was in town last week for Convention of the Democrats with Abedin, who lives in the Union Square area
She told the audience at the political rally that she was amused by allegations that her campaign had spied on Trump and joked about his legal problems.
Clinton said the accusations her campaign spied against Trump were a “conspiracy” related to his growing legal problems, and criticized Republicans for supporting “coup plotters” and spreading the “big lie.”
Hillary’s appearance in Manhattan on Friday came just after her appear told Morning Joe on MSNBC on Friday and said Republicans should call on President Trump’s comments on Vladimir Putin’s “genius.”
“I want to make sure in our own country that we call on those people who are helping and comforting Vladimir Putin for what a genius he is, what a clever move he is, which are unfortunately being broadcast by the Russian media, not just in Russia. but in Europe to demonstrate the division in our own country, “said the Democratic presidential candidate in 2016.
“Perhaps this terrible aggression by Putin will harden the backs of many Republicans in office who understand that you cannot continue to give Trump and his aides a blank check because they will take us to a very bad place,” she continued. .

Abedin, 45, is enjoying New York Fashion Week and was sitting in the front row of Ula Johnson’s show on Saturday.
Clinton then suggested that “too many Republicans” were “so naive in such a dangerous way.”
“They somehow believe that because Putin presents himself as a strong leader on behalf of certain values that are, you know, anti-gay, which are anti, you know, freedom and democracy, which are so confusing that you kind of know , this quote is in line with the views of some members and elements of the Republican Party. “
“They couldn’t go wrong anymore,” she continued. “I mean, he’s poisoning people in prisons.”
Representative Byron Donalds, R-Fla., Scoffs at the idea that Republicans have a favorable view of Putin in an interview with DailyMail.com at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Orlando.
“The reality is that no one is a fan of Putin,” he said. “But the fact is that Joe Biden showed a weak lead, he was late for the match.”
Clinton also recently called on the Biden administration to step up its defense of Ukraine. She said she supported sending more US troops abroad to strengthen Ukraine’s defense and spoke of the importance of protecting NATO allies. Ukraine is not a member of NATO, but insists on joining the alliance.
“I strongly believe in supporting military weapons, if necessary, and they are the Ukrainian army and all kinds of resistance, but I also support the introduction of more troops,” she said.
“I would hope that the administration and our European allies and others will move even faster to impose sanctions not only on Russia’s economy, but also on individual players in this economy, all the way to Putin,” Clinton said.
“I think the only pressure that Putin would respond to or that could have some impact on his thinking will be those he relies on to launder his money to keep funding going to his secret accounts. “
“We have to persecute those oligarchs who support Putin financially. “They have to pay a price, regardless of whether their yachts are confiscated or their homes,” she said.
On Tuesday, Trump called Putin’s plan to invade “genius,” but said it would never happen under his administration.
Speaking to conservative podcast Buck Sexton, the former president said, “I came in yesterday and there was a TV screen and I said, ‘That’s brilliant,'” Trump recalls. “Putin declares a large part of Ukraine – from Ukraine – Putin declares it independent. Oh, that’s wonderful.
Trump also called President Biden “a man who has no idea what he’s doing.”
Earlier on Tuesday, Trump said Vladimir Putin would never have invaded Ukraine if he were still president, and said Russia had become “very, very rich” under President Biden. On Thursday, Trump reiterated that Putin’s plan was “smart” as he mocked Biden’s sanctions.
