Bowery Arts and Sciences

The name of this colorful joint on the Bowery reveals its poetry-slam roots, but it’s also the truest current iteration of the East Village’s legendary arts scene: all kinds of jazz, folk, hip-hop and improv-theater acts can routinely be found here on Sundays and Mondays. (The rest of the week, the space operates as burlesque and variety supper club Duane Park.)
