Bronx’s Storytelling Night Spins in Soundview

Soundview wove last night with the Bronx’s Storytelling Night, threading NYC’s spring at a Bruckner bar. Teller Lena Carter spun a yarn as 150 listened, a $10 ticket dive into tales. It’s borough lore—pure BX vibe, words hot. A kid gaped at twists; a pro clapped a punchline. ‘Bronx speaks—this is it,’ Carter says, pacing stage. The room turned campfire.

The night’s fresh—March 20’s start, it tripled since RSVPs, packing stools by 7 p.m. Carter’s a Mott Haven bard; last night’s crowd hit max—oohs rang. A latecomer nabbed a seat; drinks flowed—NYC grit glowed. Runs one night—stories ruled. #BronxStories trended; Queens wants a mic.

Some griped—’Too long,’ sniped a fidgeter, dodging endings. Mic buzzed—fixed quick; tales held. A rival’s pitching a Fordham spin, splitting yarns. Still, 200 stayed—words reigned. Soundview’s never spun so bold.

Carter’s teasing a monthly run, maybe a park if spring bites. ‘NYC’s heart—this tells it,’ she says, packing notes. The night’s a Bronx win—grit meets voice. It’s a story rush; catch the next. Bring a ear—tales call.
