National Poetry Month Day 5: - Poet 5: Soule Restaurant

Soule Restaurant (click hyperlink for their blog): A place of great food...no no no...DELECTABLE food, charming people. Its ambiance and aura, would never tell you that poets/artists come here to recite. I've recited there many evenings and they owners even afforded me the space to have one of my book signings/readings



Soule is where I garnered a home. Its staff welcomed me into its open mic arena and reminded me that poetry isn't meant to be kept within....other folks are anxious and eager to read/listen to your words.

Every 2nd Tuesday in each month, Soule hosts a fired up, house packed open mic event. I told myself I'd go only ONE time...just ONCE...and ended up going on the days I didn't feel to recite. It housed such great talent, that I couldn't resist.

Now aside from its features, its menu is to die for. Whenever I visited, I would tell my friends who came along..."come hungry, because you KNOW we HAVE to throw down." There's no way you can go there and NOT eat. Their lemonade had me hooked.

So if you're EVER in Brooklyn, please Stop by Soule for a mouth watering dish. I recommend ANYTHING on the menu.

Soule International Restaurant, located at 920 Fulton Street in the Clinton Hill area of Brooklyn, serves an exotic fusion of Caribbean and Soul food and possesses an elegant ambiance that attracts patrons from afar. "The first thing to come to the table is hot corn muffins with warm pineapple coconut sauce (which is to die for)." This delicious start serves to heighten the anticipation for the actual entree, but don't let your eagerness deter you from experiencing the savory Crab Cake with Remoulade appetizer, or better yet, the Sampler Platter, which includes sweet BBQ wings, spicy jerk wings, codfish cakes, and catfish strips, bursting with flavor. With an extensive menu that features tender Blackened Salmon, sweet Coconut Shrimp with Apricot Duck Sauce and other exotic faire, Soule's is clearly a diamond in the rough that is emerging as a clear gem. Come taste the flavor of Soule!
