This Valentine’s Day, let The Poetry Brothel NYC sweep you off your feet with a sugar-sweet celebration of love, longing, and poetry. Step inside House of Yes, transformed into a candy-colored dreamland where hearts melt, lips whisper secrets, and romance blooms in every corner.

The night is a box of chocolates filled with delights: dazzling cabaret, heart-thumping burlesque, high-flying aerial acts, and, of course, the swoon-worthy verses of our most dashing and darling poets. Every performance is a love letter, sealed with a kiss, and delivered just for you.

Indulge your sweet tooth at the bar with cocktails as smooth as satin and confections as bright as Cupid’s arrow. Take a stroll into a love-struck secret room for an intimate poetry reading that will make your heart skip a beat. Whether you’re here with a sweetheart, a best friend, or a heart full of dreams, this soirée is for lovers of all kinds.

Our Maitre D', Chuckie Sleaze, and Madam Eleanor will guide you through an enchanting evening, featuring a rotating cast of poets ready to share their most tender and tantalizing verses in private readings. Choose your poet and exchange tokens for a moment of pure, unfiltered magic.
