History

Le Soleil was founded in 1973 by Rolande Bisserth, originally on 10th Avenue between 57 - 58th Streets in an area called Bois Verna, named after a neighborhood in Port-au-Prince known for its ancient latticed houses, where New York's version once boasted bookstores, churches, cafés, and bodegas called petit magasins.
Its decor entails colorful primitive-style tropical landscapes decorated on peach-colored walls above brown wainscoting.
