From Ice Cream Pints to Bookstore Crawls — 3 NYC Black Women-Owned Collabs You Need to Know This Women's History Month

This Women's History Month, Black women-owned businesses across NYC are doing what they do best — building together. From sandwiches to bookstore crawls to ice cream collabs, these partnerships are creating new reasons to explore the city and support multiple businesses at once.

Here are three collabs still happening this March:

The Croissant Biscuit Chicken Sandwich — Je T'Aime Patisserie x Filly Luv

Two Bed-Stuy staples, one sandwich worth planning your week around. Je T'Aime Patisserie and Filly Luv created a croissant biscuit chicken sandwich with strawberry ketchup — sweet, savory, and very much a vibe.

The NYC Black Women-Owned Bookstore Crawl

This isn't just a collab — it's a movement. All month long, explore 10 bookstores across Brooklyn and the Bronx, each built and run by Black women. Pick up your crawl card at any participating location, collect stamps, and unlock rewards as you go — including a limited-edition tote if you hit all 10.

📅 March 29th, 2–4PM — The crawl wraps with a panel discussion at The Lit. Bar. Hear from the owners themselves about building literary homes in NYC.
