Odessa has been playing host to a literary reading series in recent weeks on Wednesday evenings.
There hadn't been much notice about the events. Now, however, there's a sign up for the readings...
The series, which takes place in the back of the diner (near the bar) on Wednesday evenings, features several guests as well as an open-mic portion. There's a suggested donation of $5 as well as a request to order something from Odessa. (Ed pick: challah grilled cheese!)
Michael Graves, who started the Phoenix Reading Series in the West Village in the late 1990s, is the organizer. Amy Barone, Ron Kolm and Karen Neuberg are the featured poets tomorrow (Wednesday) night. The reading starts at 6 p.m. and runs to 8-9 p.m.

Sounds like a fun thing.
Good for them !
This is great! I had no idea this was happening. Thanks for posting.
hell yes this is great on so many levels; thanks for reporting!
I agree. See you Wed
The burgers, pancakes and chicken soup are pretty good too, as is breakfast.
The chicken soup is my fav in the neighborhood. The roast turkey for sandwiches, etc. is fresh, not processed pre-pack 'deli'. Great to be increasing business here, especially the unused capacity in the back.
This poetry post & the Tribal Soundz reunion post (using EV Playhouse on 6th) leave me wondering about replacement venues for less fancy, low production events since the close of SideWalk. These both seem like potentially great regular options.
