I'm looking for bars in New York or Philly that do open mic fiction readins or take unsolicited...?

Question

I'm a short fiction writer and essayist. I'm looking to branch out and help support books I am in by doing some readings. Who in these two fair cities is kind enough to have me (ie, nobody famous) read? Give me the names of some bars that fiction readings or poetry/fiction readings and I'll do all the research.

Answer 1

Many of the locations where one could previously do that, have been torn down, or, are in the process of being demolished. NYC is developing Condo residencies in the former locations.
