[June 18 outside the Bowery Poetry Club]
After weeks of speculation about the future of the Bowery Poetry Club ... including our post yesterday from an employee ... DNAinfo's Serena Solomon gets confirmation that the 10-year-old Club will close on July 17 "to renovate its space in advance of a relaunch that will put a stronger emphasis on food."
"There will be a better mix of food and art," said founder Bob Holman, who declined to go into further detail about the new-look Bowery Poetry Club.

Booooo! More emphasis on poetry, liquor, (coffee, drinks, whatever), theater and music! Everything in this town is food and foodies! Food is the new nightclubbing and I hate it!
What About Bib?
@ Kristin
My fave Bill Murray movie.
Thanks — I posted so quickly I never noticed the typo.
It'll get even safer and blander when the mormons take over. Coffee will be banned.
@ EV: What About Bob is so good.
I'm a longtime lurker around here. Keep up the great work!
Does anyone know if Karen Benelli, who used to compete in slams at the Club, is still writing?
I see she has a tumblr: KarenArdenneArden.tumblr.com but don't know if she's still in the City.
