THIS IS HOW WE ROLL…
The Lit. Bar opened its permanent doors on April 27, 2019 (National Indie Bookstore Day) and is currently the only brick & mortar bookstore serving the Boogie Down Bronx. Our venue encourages curious readers and welcomes literary and community gatherings—while our wine bar connects the great pastimes of social sipping and introverted reading. What better way to loosen our tongues and talk about the books we love? We offer a carefully curated selection of general interest books, gift items, and programming which emphasize local interest and diversity for all ages.
The Proprietress
Noëlle Santos is an African American and Puerto Rican venture activist from the Bronx. Why am I speaking in third-person? We know it's me, lol…
I’m Noëlle—life-long reader, and regular, degular, shmegular girl from the Bronx (Soundview, stand up!).
My studies at Lehman College earned me both a bachelor’s degree in business/accounting (2009) and a master’s degree in human resources management (2012).
I’m living my best life owning & operating the only bookshop in our borough and exploring the Bronx & beyond. The Lit. Bar is just as multifaceted as me: a bookstore/wine bar/community center with a graffiti & chandelier theme, much like my life.

Sincerely Yerrrs,
Noëlle
