One of the deepest mysteries of Chinatown is who will show up to perform at The Five Points Variety Hour, "an eclectic mix of music, hip hop, poetry, comedy, trash talk, and spontaneous insanity" that plays to a diverse crowd every Friday night from 8:00 to 10:30 on the ground floor at the back of the Silk Road Cafe. Not a family show, it's "Unfiltered. Uncensored. Unpredictable." .
Before or after
Enjoy a bubble tea and check your email in the cafe.
