Open Mic Night/Booked Musicians at Coffeehouse
If you are going to be here over Fall Break, I urge you to take advantage of Philadelphia life that you were probably too busy studying/sleeping/hanging out in Bryn Mawr to see. Go to Mugshots Coffeehouse Open Night Mic for a fun, relaxed experience- perfect for Fall Break! They also book local musicians- one is playing this Friday. This would be a great way to relax after midterms before you go home. Or maybe you just want to find your new coffee shop. Whatever the reason, be sure to check out their website here. Also, here’s a link to their calendar page.
