I went to Donna on a whim a few months ago. It's a small walkup apartment and you sit in what must double as her dining room. Before I could go in, I heard her hushing a young child. The setting is very much just a regular apartment.
I did the crystal ball reading for the novelty aspect of it. It was....so-so. Donna asked a lot of semi-generalized ""leading"" questions, as in, ""I see that you have a friend who's been going through a stressful situation-- tell me about that."" Leaving me to rack my brain trying to think if anyone I know's been having problems. There were a few questions like this, and they ""led"" nowhere because I really couldn't connect them to anything in my life. (She also asked me to ""tell her"" about wanting to move from where I live now- which I don't- and to tell her about a job I recently quit- which I haven't)
Other things she said were sort of insightful, but still a little ""off"", and still other things were predicted to happen far enough in the future that I can't comment on their accuracy at this time. The one thing she did predict with total accuracy was that my sister's baby would be a boy.
I guess at the end, I just didn't feel very fulfilled by the total experience. I've been to tarot readers before, who don't even advertise or take on new clients, and they were really really good. This didn't feel like that.
Furthermore, Donna advertised a special discount on one of these review sites, and when it came time to pay, Donna said that the prices she'd quoted me earlier in the day already included the discount...that ended up being a $20 difference and added to my feeling of skeeviness.
Overall I would have to say, go to Donna only if someone you know personally has been to her and can recommend her. Do not trust all these poorly-spelled 5-star reviews on Citysearch that all sound suspiciously the same, written by people who have never written a review for anything else.
And get a firm price in advance. She's cheaper than some of the ""top"" psychics in the city, and she seems to be a very nice lady, but I honestly think the experience itself was only worth about HALF the price she charges.
