It's the time of year when many folks travel, and we're taking advantage of this to bring you two spectacular writers who are coming into town to take a seasonal bite of the Big Apple.  One graced us with a wonderful performance last April for the Clockwork Phoenix 5 launch, and the other is a favorite writer who we've long admired and are pleased to present here for the first time.  (Thanks go out to Ellen Datlow for directing Kij to us.)

The New York Review of Science Fiction Reading Series provides performances from some of the best writers in science fiction, fantasy, speculative fiction, etc.  The series usually takes place the first Tuesday of every month, but maintains flexibility in time and space, so be sure to stay in touch through the mailing list, the Web, and Facebook.

The Cafe has excellent food, a coffee bar, beer and wine.  The Jenna freebie table will offer books and goodies, as will the raffle for any who donate.

After the event, please join us as we treat our readers for dinner and drinks at the cafe.
