MB and I finally ate at Tenament on Ludlow between Stanton and Rivington. They spent a lot of money building this place. Very slick old time LES feel. Two interesting semi-private rooms in the back. Music from the live dj was nice. Very good feel to the place.
The food is trying, but so far not making it. The dishes reminded me of Alias except not as good (although Alias had some problems at the start too, so maybe there is hope.) Service was scattered at best. Probably won't return unless I hear something different.
i dj'ed there a few weekends ago and the owner was, how do you say? oh yea, a racist prick.
specifically, he informed me, abruptly and unceremoniously, that I should not play any hiphop, and that if I did play any hiphop, he would personally throw me off the decks.
i was doing a favor for a friend's birthday so i stayed and did the gig (hadn't been planning to play hiphop anyway).
but the message was pretty clear. I had the same thing in LA once: "don't play hiphop, we have a different type of crowd here".
i won't be back.
