by Mitchy B. on If you wanna sit in a line and get treated like a piece of crap, pay a $20 cover charge, pay an insane amount of money for drinks, get grinded on by 18 yr georgia tech kids, get shoved left and right by drunk b*tches, then this is ur place! upside is, i always get a free VIP pass whenever we go so that's what the 2 star is about hehe
by Sofia J. on Aah this review is hard .... well it's called Sugar Cafe so let's start w/the sugar... my friend and I shared the Chef's Dessert Assortment which had lots of REALLY GOOD stuff in it, like ice cream in lambic beer, a decadent brownie, chocolate croissant, plus caramel sauce and a sour cream/raspberry type sauce on the side. however ... there was no espresso bar! i mean... helllooooo Latte... Cappucino... and dessert... i really don't know what else to say, Maybe something changed from the time we went there b/c the website has coffee drinks on it. Anyway, we ended up getting the closest thing to coffee... an Irish coffee...which was the most disgusting drink I've ever had (and this isn't the first time I've had Irish coffee...just to be clear, here) ... I can probably make a better one at home! Aside from that... the decor is pretty cool, ESPECIALLY the fireplace...one of the coolest installations I've seen!
by Myong Hibshman on I've met people who make intelligent, even convincing arguments against immigration. (I usually don't agree with them, but I can respect some of their points.) The owner of Geno's Steaks is not one of them. The man is clearly intimidated by the throngs of excellent Mexican and Vietnamese restaurants that have otherwise been warmly welcomed into the "Italian Market" section of the city. Here's the evidence against him: a) The famous sticker on the window: THIS IS AMERICA: WHEN ORDERING, SPEAK ENGLISH. b) The t-shirt displayed in a window across the street: "I'M AN AMERICAN SO I ORDER IN ENGLISH." Geno's owner Joseph Vento is the grandson of immigrants from Sicily, who faced their own struggles with the English language when they landed in America in the 1920s. Of course, Geno himself is too far removed from that struggle -- he, after all, is a REAL American -- to know how difficult it is for many people, especially adults, to learn a second-language.
