"Sadly, on Nov. 1, 2023, the Nuyorican Poets Cafe closed its location at 236 E 3rd St. to undergo a three-year Nuyoricanstruction project aimed at renovating its 100-year-old building, with plans to reopen in 2026. During that time, the cafe has partnered with the Bowery Poetry Club to host a Nuyorican Poets Cafe Slam every Monday night beginning at 7 p.m."
"Founded in 1958 as a record shop by Gerald Halpern, The Music Inn is one of the city's most unique world instrument shops. The store frequently hosts live music performances for low prices, but dedicates Tuesday nights to open mic poetry; an event that was implemented after the COVID-19 pandemic."
"This nonprofit organization offers guests a range of poetry programming, including workshops, readings and open mics. Both in-person and virtual events are available. The organization also runs an annual Poetry Festival featuring three days of workshops, panels, readings and more."
