I have been to many "new and eclectic" places in NY and I have to admit this is in line with places like Esperanto, BAO, Casimire and Paladar (etc.) If you like an energetic atmosphere in addition to a possitive crowd and funky-gormet (meaning traditional meats/bases with innovative spices) then this is the place. The fact that it out of the way only adds to it's personality and mystique. Believe me - if you're a new yorker, you will enjoy the tight, crowded, friendly and crazy space. Something to remember.
Pros: food, MUSIC, people
Cons: , cash only or Amex
