Postcrypt Coffeehouse

Holy smokes. This place rocks! I would’ve never discovered this place on my own, but luckily, I still have friends who are undergrads at Columbia. This place reminds me of my high school coffeehouse. Pure, folk music that tugs at your heart strings and makes your eyes teary.
I followed my friends here after eating dinner close by and it was the best decision ever. I love folk music, especially kick-​ass folk music. We were able to catch John Craigie and also Margaret Glaspy. They were both really good, but Margaret stole my heart. She did a cover of Lauren Hill’s «Ex-​factor,» and it made me happy, sad, and tearful all in the same breath. When a singer evokes that kind of emotion in me, they will forever be on my A-​list! She will also be playing at Culturefix this coming Wednesday. Why does she not have an album yet? Somebody discover here already!
They have live performance every Friday and Saturday evening and the venue is awesome. How can you top playing in a crypt of a church? You just can’t…
The only downside is that they don’t sell alcohol, but honestly, you don’t need alcohol to get lost in this music. They have cookies and cider for sell if you have the munchies. And if you’re that desperate, bring your own flask. Totally cozy and awesome venue, great music, and lots of cute undergrads hanging around. Hey, not in my age demographic, but might be in yours!
