The Lit. Bar
South Bronx
Currently the only independent bookstore in the Bronx, The Lit. Bar opened in April 2019—on National Indie Bookstore Day by no coincidence—as the realized dream of Noëlle Santos, a Black/Puerto Rican venture activist, and proud Bronx native. Venue for the occasional author talk or book signing, The Lit. Bar is a place with a self-proclaimed "bookstore and chill" vibe—the chill component coming in the form of an on-site wine bar that also serves charcuterie boards, boozy pudding pops, and gourmet popcorn.
