Bed-Stuy’s hardware store reborn as book bar

Macon Hardware, a Bed-Stuy landmark for over 70 years, is getting a new life as The North Star Books + Bar. Instead of tools, neighbors will soon find books, art, and a cozy café—plus a speakeasy-style bar for real conversation. Co-founded by Pulitzer winner Nikole Hannah-Jones, this spot aims to honor the building’s legacy and Bed-Stuy’s role in Black arts history. Locals can look forward to workshops, author talks, and a true community hub. What do you think—will this new chapter bring folks together in a fresh way? #Business #BedStuy #BookBar
