New York City Writers Forum NYC events, bars/lounges, anyb..

Hi all,

        Sort of an outcast by no fault of my own, I fell from the graces of former "friends" when I started using a wheelchair (and was also connected to some undesirables I've since discarded). I was pretty into the punk scene... now, finding myself alone all too often, I really wanna make new creative friends. I drink a little, alcohol and coffee... I have done many a reading, open-mic, freestyle battle... I live in Suffolk County on LI and do not drive right now bbut use the train... can anybody tell me about local bars, events, cool stuff so I can sorta validate myself as an artist, as well as collect a new network of friends?
