Poetry & Cocktails
Join the Academy of American Poets, Back Forty, and acclaimed downtown poet Bob Holman for a National Poetry Month celebration in the East Village featuring poetry-inspired cocktails. Drink masters from some of New York's best cocktail-oriented bars and restaurants (e.g. Ward III, Clover Club, The Beagle, and Back Forty and Back Forty West, of course) will mix, shake and pour libations inspired by their favorite poems. Each poem will then be read aloud by Bob Holman of the Bowery Poetry Club, cocktail in hand. Back Forty chef Michael Laarhoven will also prepare a menu of bites, including Burger Sliders, Flat Bread with Almond Tahini, Fried Squid with a Buttermilk-Paprika Aioli, Grilled Bread with a Stinging Nettle Pesto & Golden beets, Whipped Goat Feta & Red Pepper Urfa Spread on House-Made Crackers, & Mini English Muffins with Ham, Quail Egg & Cabot Clothbound Cheddar.

Tickets for the event (including food and cocktails) are $55 plus tax, gratuity, and fees, totaling $70.89.
