I went with a group of friends, to see a friend performing on a Wednesday night. These places have live people that perform poetry.

They was a 8 dollars cover... but is worth it, over here you see so much talent that people from NY have, this is my first time going to a poetry club, so i did not know what to expect.

So they were almost 15 people performing, each participant had time to recite a poem; they were 3 judges that were scoring, each participant.

I think all people that did a poem, did a great job, but they only can choose the top 5 to pass to the next round. After this each winner that pass to the next round, had to do a new poem and the judge give then new score, then the winner, was the one that had more points from both rounds.

The winner won 10 US dollars and an opportunity to go to Friday match where the best of all perform will do new poem and then go to the national.

They sell all kind of alcohol in this cafe too.
