One of my all time favorite spots. Can't leave NYC without seeing a Friday night poetry slam. Get there early (9:15ish) to wait in line if you want a seat!!

Alphabet City’s legendary slam poetry venue harkens back to the East Village's 1970s artistic scene. Witness venerable stars and up-and-coming poets every night of the week.
