by Sheela K. on I was at Yoshi's for the Public Enemy show on Jan. 15. Awesome venue: intimate and elegant with an fun vibe. The show itself was excellent and high-energy ... good times. I want to come back to try the food.
by Rich M. on Avenue has become my favorite club in NYC period. It's very trendy and this is as good as it gets. The door is strict and highly selective, chances of getting in are slim to none. To be honest if you are a minority and your name is not P Diddy, Jay-Z or Kobe Bryant just turn back around and go to the other clubs next door. This is one of those places you go once in a while like on your birthday and you have plans to spend a couple of thousand $$. The music is OK not too bad The setup is very well done The crowd ratio is about 99% white most of them seem to be euro Russian type. Overall I give this place 5 stars because of the exclusivity other than that to get in I highly suggest you call in advance get on the list or know someone. Otherwise do not waste your time trying to get in.
by Enoch Maginnis on Overrated. This place is like PF Chang's with a DJ and a ginormous buddha. The scene is definitely the appeal (if you like eating in a clubbing scene), but the food was pretty below par. I had the squab lettuce wraps, which was really bland and didn't taste like anything. The spare ribs were not sufficiently marinated (or something) b/c i can definitely get much better food in any china town. The sweet soy cod skewers were pretty good, though. However, I've had this / seen this on menus of at least a dozen other restaurants. What a disappointment. The scene is kinda fun, but not really my cup of tea. As an avid reader of US Weekly, I know this is a regular favorite of the stars like Britney Spears and Paris Hilton, but these people must have bad taste in food.
