by Jang C. on I've been to the restaurant, not the nightclub filled with Asian teeny-bopper college kids. How is the food? It's okay. It's definitely something I can get into. You have to eat with your hands. If you are one of those weird people who need to use a knife and fork to eat a Snicker's bar, this place is not for you. I liked the sauces and meats that I ordered, but I wasn't a big fan of the bread. It was too sour-doughy. I'm not a huge fan of sour dough. And the sourness of the dough was overpowering everything. I don't know if the sour-dough ish bread is standard in Ethiopian cuisine, if it is, oh well. If it's not, they need a more variety of bread, and I'll go back there.
by Robin Hoagberg on Hmmm... I don't get why so many folks raved about this place. Maybe it used to be cool in its hey day? Maybe it would've been more fun if I were more drunk? Maybe I would've appreciated it more had it not been so easy to get in (even with half of our group being guys, no reservations, on a Sat night at around midnight)? Maybe I don't appreciate house music as much as dancing my booty off to hip hop... I don't know what would've done the trick for me but overall, I was not impressed with Cielo. Actually, my group had a great buzz going in and then we completely lost our energy after about 15-20 mins at Cielo. It didn't help that the couple dancing right next to me had horrid b.o. I can and will dance to practically any music (alright, maybe except country) but I wasn't impressed with the set on Sat night. It wasn't 'til the featured DJ went on (around 1am) that the music got better. The crowd was also unimpressive. A mix of euro-trash, young wall street, and the pre-requisite B&T types... fairly representative of the meatpacking area on wknds. I will give Cielo another try since most rateclubsers seem to like it quite a bit... but I think the next time, I'm in the mood to dance and I'm in this part of town, I'll probably opt to go elsewhere.
by John O. on drinks with fellow new yorkers when 5 tourists from florida joined us... a little too much but a fun scene...we sent them off to crobar...luckily i grabbed a cab and am now alone online...(friendly floridians floating thru town on girls weekend)...give me a neighborhood bar..
