Writers in bars. Like websites that capitalize on already extant Internet memes, Litquake is passing this off as a new idea. But old or new, we're always up for writers and bars. So we're thrilled that Lit Crawl NYC is pairing writers from some of our favorite magazines like The Paris Review, BOMB, and Fence with some of our favorite watering holes like Home Sweet Home, KGB, and Botanica. Check out the venues, and set your crawl itinerary. And no worries if you're feeling sedentary or have had one too many — an expected upshot. Pick your poison, nestle in, and let the different magazines come to you. See the full schedule here. Some events we're hitting up: In Phase I (6-6:45pm): Soft Skull Night and/or Literary Trivia with Harper Perennial; Phase II (7-7:45pm): Welcome to the Jungle and/or FSG on Sex, Love, Friendship and Literature; and Phase III (8-8:45pm) is a toss-up between Open City/Gigantic's Sweet Home New York, the Paris Review Sneak Preview, and the Bomb-aoke! After 9pm, it's all party at Fontana's.

Litquake, San Francisco’s Literary Festival brings its “reading as spectator sport” ethos to New York for one night only on September 11 when it hosts the East Coast version of the Lit Crawl, a literary pub crawl through 15 + bars in the East Village and the Lower East Side. This is the third year that the SF-based literary festival has come to New York to stage a crawl and the first time welcoming on board The Paris Review and Granta (who is also sponsoring the event).
