Lonely Planet review for Nuyorican Poets Café
A legendary club started in 1973 by Miguel Algarin, a Puerto Rican poet, the Nuyorican is home to hip-hop performances, poetry slams, plays, and film and video events. It's a piece of East Village history, but also a vibrant and still-relevant nonprofit arts organization (supported by proceeds from the cafe).
