"Opening in June at 315 Smith Street in Carroll Gardens (between President and Union streets), Liz’s Book Bar will serve books alongside coffee by day and wine and beer by night; the spot comes from author Maura Cheeks (who published Acts of Forgiveness earlier this year), is named after her grandmother, and will house some 4,000 fiction and non-fiction titles, joining a recent wave of bookstore bars." - Emma Orlow
