by Josh C. on The two stars are because I usually see someone I would like to see (or someone my friends would like to see) on the bill. The 3 stars lacking are for overselling the popular events so much that to quote my fellow rateclubs'er Neal H.: "after 10pm it gets to feeling dangerous. Not only do I grow to hate you mighty, but I grow to hate everyone else in the room, everyone who shoves their way into the non-existent spaces around me, smearing me with their stale sweat. I've been to a lot of dance events and the only ones I have walked out of early (not because I was tired) have been at Mighty." Nuff said. Whoever is in charge over there better get their shit together before they get closed down by the Fire Marshall. ***5/14/08 - Added a star for good customer service...Sean from Mighty emailed me right away after I posted this review. He apologized and offered to refund my money for the show. Hopefully Mighty will be able to resolve the over-crowded issue at popular shows in the future.***
by Carrol Tornabene on Little Baobab, is a quaint, low-key, electic (the decor evokes the product of leaving a pre-schooler in a room w/ paint and some unfinished furniture) alternative when its older sibling just around the corner (Bissap Baobab) happens to be closed on Mondays. When Kuya Arnold G. and I got there, we were told that they had Happy Hour specials of $3 pints and half off for all well-drinks. Would've been nice if my kidneys were at 100%. We ordered the fried plaintains w/ tamarind yogurt sauce (sweet and tart, though it really didn't seem yogurty in consistency), which were just what my growling stomach needed as we waited for Unni Sooj O. to stop by. (No, I'm not having ethnic cultural identity issues). Now, I had never had Senegalese/West African food before, so I was glad that we were all family-style friendly eaters. It seemed that the menu was on the short side and many of the dishes sounded the same....some kind of meat (lamb, chicken, tofu) w/ either sauteed spinach or mushrooms on a bed of couscous or rice. Well, we tried to diversify and had Cari Tofu (a thin, translucent curry sauce, but very different from any other curry spice blend that I've ever had. you think curry and expect something a little more piquant), Chicken Mafe (peanut sauce served w/ the fluffiest, most buttery couscous I've had in a while), and the Lamb N'Dala (well, it was N'something - lamb w/ a thick brown spinach sauce). I'd say the lamb was the best dish we had. Though it was an experience of new foods, I wasn't particularly impresed w/ the uniformly subdued flavors. Plus, all the meat was overcooked. Chew. Chew. Chew. Chew. Chew. Big gulp. It's a really small place, so you'd think the waitress/hostess would be a little bit more in tune with the service. Wrong. She looked like she was going to pass out/fall asleep from trying to be so hip. I'd be really curious what this place is like when it's more "Night Life" than "Restaurant." Something tells me that food isn't its strength.
