A legendary poetry performance space, Bowery Poetry has long been a place for literary readings, group meet-ups, and inspiring poetry slams .

“Acoustic gospel, legit burlesque , and slam poetry are definitely welcome diversions from the usual LES live indie band scene. ” More info at http://www.partyearth.com/venues/bowery-poetry-club.

Home not only to amazing spoken word performances , but sexy Burlesque and hilarious Bingo . The real poetry is in the men’s room – try not to add you own.

A new event called Catch-ah-Fiya Wednesday's on select nights featuring Reggae , Caribbean, R&B/Soul music and it's fantastic. Next one November 16, 2011. Free for ladies & reduced for men until 11:30.
