Liz’s Book Bar is the chic, stylish cousin of the classic indie bookstore. Some bookstores lean a little gritty (which I can also love), but LBB is clean and polished while still feeling completely independent. People are friendly. I heard several people strike up conversations (with strangers, to be clear). At one point I overheard a woman recognize another woman from TikTok and they started chatting. That kind of thing felt very normal here. I came in for a drink with a friend who lives in the neighborhood and it was such a great space that I ended up asking the owner if I could host my discussion group (20-40 people depending on the night). A couple months later I held my Sad Rich Girl Salon at LBB and it was wonderful. The staff was so helpful and warm. Gave us mics. Cleared the floor and setup chairs. (Honestly, this event was better run than several of my “official” tour stops arranged by my publishing team.) There was also a really cute moment where I met a woman who follows me on IG and had read my book and just happened to be at LBB that night (total coincidence). She bought a copy for her friend and asked me to sign it. it was one of those serendipitous moments that happen all the time in nyc but still feels so movie-like. Added bonus: LBB sold out my book for the event I only wish I lived closer because I’d be here all the time.

Best mint ice tea in town! Literally made the heat wave more tolerable. Kept finding myself returning to this lovely coffee shop/book bar. People were really nice, welcoming and always smiling. Great for sipping your coffee quietly watching people pass by the street or reading. The book selection, while not the biggest, is well curated. Loved everything about this place!

Such a cute spot — a mix of bookstore, café, and bar with a great vibe. Jordan was amazing and helped my friend pick a wine she loved. She’s so warm and personable, and the space itself is just perfect.
