Bowery Poetry Club552

Billed as a playground for language, the Bowery Poetry Club extends a welcoming hand to youngsters who love words with the Bowery Kids series of kid-friendly shows and readings.

The cafe here serves soup, sandwiches, wraps, salads, and fresh pastries and desserts. Vox Pop provides a special menu just for Bowery Kids shows, which includes The Dr. Seuss, a green smoothie with bananas, mangoes, honey, and organic milk ($4.50); The Mister Rogers, peanut butter and jelly on white or whole wheat toast, and The Jabberwocky, a banana, honey, and peanut butter sandwich, on wheat or white bread - both with the edges cut off ($3 each); and The Puppy Dog, a vegan hot dog served with ketchup and carrot sticks ($3).
