NEW YORK -- A New York institution in the arts will grow even more starting Thursday; ground officially broke on the expansion of the Nuyorican Poets Cafe in the East Village.The rattles, snaps and claps heard within the storied brick walls will ring even louder in a newly renovated and restored Nuyorican Poets Cafe.'I'm speechless,' executive director Caridad de la Luz said.
Slated to house two theaters, offices, educational spaces, a staff elevator and more, it'll allow the organization to use all of the building's four stories while still preserving the historic brick.'We're very familiar with the area, we have a great team on this project, and it's really, really exciting for us to give back,' said DDC Commissioner Thomas Foley.
