An acronym for Love is the Message, LITM is Jersey City’s neighborhood destination for creative seasonal cocktails, award-winning American food and the local art and film scene. Every day offers its own unique experience- from the light-hearted and bouncy Friday nights, to the decompressing Monday happy hour fix, or Wednesday’s casual treat to a burger and beer- LITM has a day to fit your mood. Mo

nthly art shows and film screenings are home to LITM, with the 100th Art exhibition slated for April 2012. The eclectic feel of the space attracts parties small and large- surprise birthdays, wedding receptions, baby showers, bachelorette parties and more! We invite you to join us and get to know our staff, who were almost all on the other side of the bar before being employed by their favorite local spot. Also a perfect spot to have your birthday party, class reunion, bridal shower or any other kind of event you can think of. Just let us know what you're thinking of and we can make it happen! Saturday or Sunday afternoons are the perfect time to have your event.

Dear For so many years we were proud to serve as a meetup zone, place of respite, home base for so many rallies, protests, and vigils. In these truly momentous times, it saddens us that we are no longer physically there for you as a space. But know that we are there for you in spirit. And we are so proud of all of you. Those going out and making your voices heard (stay safe and wear your masks!) or those caring for others, supporting the community, uplifting your brothers and sisters! and we love everyone of you for spreading that message. Sometimes you have to fight hard to get that message heard. And we know you’re out there doing it with grace, class, power and style! We raise a glass to you. Sorry you’ll have to get your mac&cheese elsewhere tho!
Artwork featured is “Wonder Woman Selfie” by the phenomenal Theda Sandiford. Please check out her work! A powerful voice both in regards to black/female identity and community building.

Our proper goodbye will come, JC

01/23/2020

Dear friends and family of LITM:

With a full and grateful heart, I say farewell.
Since 2003, LITM has been a neighborhood destination for individuals to connect and build community. For many, it became their home away from home. I have been fortunate to know most of you and to see so many of your stories unfold. After seventeen years, the LITM story has come to an end.

We created many grand memories over the years but as much as I cherish those, so do I cherish our simple everyday conversations that sealed our friendship. One such conversation was with a former staff who told me that I was like a big sister to him. He pursued his passion, like I did when opening LITM. I was surrounded by such people following their heart. I suspect this will always be the case, and I believe that the best is yet to come for all of us.

As we wrap up in the next few days, LITM will unfortunately not be open for business. Our final farewell party will not take place at our space due to time constraints. We want our chance at a proper goodbye, and will endeavor to make that a reality. It just won’t happen at 140 Newark Ave.

Artists and service providers: we will be contacting you to make arrangements, and will be available to serve you beyond the closing of our space.

LITM stands for love is the message. Thank you for believing in it from day one.

Always,

Jelynne Jardiniano Morse
