by Yu-Ching L. on Don't be fooled by the Sex and the City influence and the trendy decor. The food sucks. There is no better way to say it. $14 for lo mein served on a fancy plate? Say what? I wouldn't be surprised if they added moo goo gai pan to their menu soon. What is moo goo gai pan anyway? I'm Chinese and I don't even know.
by Kandy Strassell on The Nuyorican is a place where your senses will be invigorated. You can taste the love, you can hear the emotion, you can see the matrimony of ryhme and reason, you can touch comradery, and you can smell midnight oil perspiring off of the minds of these brilliant poets, and people. I went here for the first time just last night for open mic, and I didn't feel like a newbie. I was a little hesistant about signing up but I intend to be a regular so thats okay:). They have many events throughout the day, and have been a gem nestled comfortably in the east village for 16 marvelous years. When your here you are definitely welcome, and no matter what language you speak you can feel the energy, and heartfelt love for spoken word, and humanity. There are people from all walks of life appreciating the same thing. You can honeslty feel the love, and the "Sandman" is hilarious. I'm something of a spoken word junkie, and I feel a little embarrased that this is my first time getting to this place, but I feel so much better that I can say I've been here. They have a nice bar, and small balcony seating upstairs, which gives the place a real artsy, feel. There are raps and poems in Spanish but you can feel the meaning all the same. Last night there was a rapper from Columbia who rapped in Spanish and English, and he was dope. Then there was this woman from France who sang in French, and I think I just about fell in love:). This place is LEGENDARY...MOS DEF, SAUL WILLIAMS, SWEET HONEY IN THE ROCK have all done there thing at this place. Its no suprise as to why this place is so popular. It is truly a gem and witnessed some prolific poets and pulchritudinous women singing. It is a treasure. The Nuyorican is here to stay for generations to come...16 years and still running STRONG!........I HEART U NUYORICAN!
