A cafe in Harlem has added live music nights on Fridays and Saturdays. The new schedule began last weekend.
Performances will feature local musicians across genres, including jazz, blues, and folk. The cafe has set up a small stage area to accommodate the shows.
The owners said the move is part of an effort to offer a more dynamic atmosphere on weekend evenings. They also expressed interest in supporting the neighborhood’s music scene.
Music nights will run from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. and are free to attend. The cafe serves food and drinks as usual during the performances.
Local artists have welcomed the opportunity to play live amid the city’s ongoing return to public events after pandemic restrictions. The cafe plans to review the new program after a trial period.
