Its been revitalized in the last year. Like the old days almost. A lot safer option at the moment imo.
I used to love it there.
Reopened Lafayettes. Local is good so is Bar Louie. Haven't been to Babalu yet but I hear it's good too
Bar Louie is many things...good is not one of them...its just another chain.

Skip rendezvous unless you just want to go for the sausage and cheese plate and atmosphere. Blues city on beale has good wet ribs, the bbq shop on Madison has a great pulled pork sandwhich and amazing BBQ nachos, central has good BBQ nachos, a decent BBQ sandwhich, and very good wings, cozy corner has good Q.
Evelyn and olive for amazing Cuban. I can keep going on and on...
I work out a lot to stay skinny.
Funny you should mention Cuban. My kids got me going to a terrific Cuban restaurant here in Las Vegas. Excellent food. Got to have a couple of Mojitos. UMMMMM good!
Cubans sure know how to make you feel at home.
As do most smart people when you're giving them money...
As most people who appreciate your business and don't take anything for granted from a third world country. The complete opposite of minorities in our country who've been conditioned to think because they're minorities it's owed to them you mean. Right?
Nice job bringing race into it, playboy.
Feel like getting something else off of your chest?

HAHA....me too. Met my x-husband there.
You're probably too young, but do you remember the Bombay Bicycle Club? I sure know how to date myself.

I still have a frisbee of the 10 year anniversary of Fridays in 1981. If I'm not mistaken that may have been the original. Not sure though.

I still have one of the Silky Sullivans diver paint buckets somewhere. The metal one, not the plastic that came later. Good times.
