by Kimba V. on Their $20 happy hour dinner deal is a steal! $20 for a cocktail, appetizer, entree, and a dessert per person. My roommate and I decided to get something different from each other so we could sample as many menu items as possible. So between two of us, we had the avocat creole (stuffed avocado with spicy crab and rice-delicious!!!) and the baobab gambas for appetizer (shrimps in a spicy, yumm broth). For our entrees, we had the Crevette Coco, a plate of shrimps with your choice of couscous or rice covered in coconut milk cream sauce (kinda similar to thai curry..this was my favorite dish of the night), and the N'Dole, a huge plate of spicy lamb in a peanuty spicy sauce with couscous or rice. For dessert, we got one of each of the 2 selections they had: the warm chocolate cake and the mango melba, which is just vanila ice cream over mango and covered with caramel/chocolate sauce. For our cocktails, we got the the Flamboyant (hibiscus lime vodka) and the Little Baobab cocktail, my favorite!! It had hints of passion fruit and tamarind. The flavors melded perfectly! I got an extra one cus it was so good and it gave me a lovely buzz :) This was the second time I came here. The first time I came, I decided to go vegetarian and ordered the Mafe Tofu. It was good, but I heard the Chicken Mafe is much better. All in all, my experience here was lovely. Our server was a cute young man who was in training still, but we thought he did a fabulous job! Super friendly staff, great food and drinks, exotic music, and a cute little intimate space. Great for dates! I hear they have dancing and a dj at night, so I must check that out one day. I hear it's really fun! I recommend going on Monday nights so you can get a little taste of everything. For $20, you can really get the Senegalese food experience and a lot of it too. I came out with a big buddha belly. YumYum!
by Dana F. on I've been to Webster Hall for various live concerts and to go to the Friday night parties (Trash and the Girls and Boys parties). There are 3 floors, each of which will generally have its own party, and no one will give you a hard time if you want to scope out the other floors. As far as a venue for concerts, it's not great but it's not terrible either. Tickets are moderately priced. The acoustics for live music there have never amazed me. I've had to deal with my fair share of rude bartenders and overpriced, weak drinks in itty bitty plastic cups though. As for the Friday night parties, they can be a lot of fun. Be sure to RSVP in advance though, as admission can be pricey. With that said, I could never justify paying full price to get into Webster Hall. The drinks are overpriced for what you're getting ($10 for "Nikolay" well vodka, you must be kidding) so I would suggest pre-gaming in the area at one of the many dive bars (try not to argue with the underage NYU students along the way). On the plus side: the Girls and Boys parties always manage to attract a fun crowd, everyone is dancing and having a good time, and they've been able to book some big name DJs lately. It's been packed the past few weeks. My friends and I have had to ward off some of the Bridge and Tunnel crew that meanders upstairs (think: sketchy guys). But for the most part, on Friday nights, you'll see a prevalence of American Apparel, neon hi-top sneakers, and shutter shades. Another definite advantage: you don't have to wait too long in line for the bathroom and it's not absolutely vile.
