We know that good food and drinks are important, but so is the atmosphere in which you enjoy them.
And because we know that so well, we like to tell you guys about some of the coolest places to have delicious food and drinks in the city.
But let's be honest, one of the absolute best places to eat and drink what you love is at a concert listening to the best music around.
So naturally, we're hooking you up yet again with a dope list of concerts/ events you might want to go to this month, if you don't have tickets already.
Take note, and we hope you can get to at least one before August ends!
1. Nuyorican Poets Cafe ft. Sarah Kay (August 9th)
So poetry isn't necessarily classified as music, but it can certainly be melodic AF, so it counts. Especially when it's spoken word poetry.

This Wednesday at the East River Park around 7 p.m. will be a small yet powerful event featuring three super talented women who will surely mesmerize you with their words. Don't believe me? Fine. See for yourself in 2 days.
