I had heard about the famous Nuyorican Poets Cafe for years and had always wanted to go. I visited Manhattan for the first time and made it a point to stop by. Maybe I came at the wrong time but it was not what I had expected. It was to start at 10pm and they didn't open the doors until about 10:12pm. We purchased our tickets online earlier that day. After standing outside in the cold we didn't have seats. Many people were standing up. I wasn't sure what the capacity was and wondered why we could pay to get in but not have seats. Even still I was a bit excited but we came on a night where one of the Host was trying out his guitar lessons and the order of poets didn't seem to be organized. I'...
Very cool little slam poetry venue that has a very friendly vibe for showcasing the poets. The night we went it was packed with standing room crowds and more sitting on the floor. The show was supposed to start at 10 but they didn't even open the doors until then and things didn't teally start until 10.40 or so, so it was a late evening. Judges are appointed from the audience to judge two sets of 3 poets, each of whom do 2 poems each. The poets were preselected, so it's not like anyone can jump up and read a poem they just composed (so there is some basic level of quality). The music before and between sets is very loud (club like atmosphere).
I got fooled by either the FALSE ADVERTISEMENT on their official website or the MALE STAFF AT THE FRONT DOOR. Before I visited there, I referred to the up-to-date, date-specific information on their website, and it clearly stated as $10 W/STUDENT I.D. . However, the guy at the front door demanded me the full price general admission payment, saying like we don 't do that any more, it 's discontinued . As soon as he took the money from me, he immediately put it into his purse. I feel betrayed, and would never come back again.
