xxxxxA quiet, artsy spot nestled away on a side street in East Harlem, Busboys and Poets combines cafe and bookstore in a way a Starbucks tacked on to a Barnes & Noble could never achieve. The food is a solid, multi-national cuisine menu that caters to all kinds of dietary choices, and its fair-trade tea menu is extensive. Its weekend brunch tends to draw a large crowd, but there is ample enough seating both at tables and on its many comfortable armchairs and couches that at other times of the week there is never a wait. The walls are adorned with the work of local artists, and tucked in among and alongside the couches are rows upon rows of books, with a definite slant towards the political and the bohemian.

xxxxxThe place is not particularly outspoken against or for the mutant issue. A mutant is a customer like any other, but public display of powers is generally as frowned down upon as loudly talking might be frowned down upon in a library. Offensive abilities generally create a sense of unease among visitors and employees alike.
xxxxxRecently, Friday and Saturday nights have become a gathering of intellectuals who can discuss literature, as well as share their own fiction. If you are thinking of writing a book, visiting Busboys and Poets is an excellent way to broaden your social circles.
