The Bowery Poetry Club is part Cafe, part Bar/ Lounge and serves as a platform for spoken word artists, poets, and musicians. "Our performance space holds up to 200, a state-of-the-art sound system with digital recording and cybercast facilities reside in our crow's nest sound booth. Next door, our brother space, Crime Scene is we believe the only instance of a “cop” bar existing side by side with a “poet” bar. The Club sponsors poetry events every night, workshops and readings in the afternoons." (description taken from bowerypoetry.com)
