Open Mic SAT at Arabica E. 185 Street

Nice place, easy to get to from the 185 St. exit off of 90 East and only about 14 minutes from Lakewood, the place has a huge red sign that says ARABICA and it is across the street from what was the LaSalle Theatre - no problem parking in back. I finaly got out there tonight after weeks of knowing about this event, and when I got there Richard Rogers Jr. and his partner were playing as the Mount Nepal Orchestra (Richard comes to my open mic at UCA all the time). I played next, it was good, a decent and attentive audience listened to play about 5 songs - good room to sing into, it felt good. The host or hosts were next, unique arrangement: The host fellow brings his wife, and she in turn brings her mother, and they all sing, and they sing well. I recomend this event and will give it three of five stars.

  1. Hi Steve,

    Love the Arabica on 185th. If you spend a lot of time there...or know others who do, check out our blog: lakeerielife.blogspot.com

    We're selling our house by owner on 219th by the lake. Hoping to pass on to creative class member, as the neighborhood lends itself to that (Plain Dealer photographer, yoga instructor, hard-hatted lady, full-time landscape designer at one mansion in bratenahl, etc).

    Cheers,
    Amanda
