by alexandra f. on "Let's go to an even shittier boozed up version of the Italian Festival in Union Square for triple the money." And so my friend's sister's birthday was spent. Sipping from a popcorn barrel sized drank of pink gauzy colored juice. We had a table but is that even cool at this place? $12 grapefruit and bottom shelf liquor is also not cool. The games are definitely rigged--pretty much everyone I was with is a beer pong champion and at that point in the night, we were sober. No one walked home with a fish from the fish pong game. Also walking up 5 flights of stairs that look like they are leading to the elementary school's carnival hosted in the gym irked me immediately. Being footsteps away from Webster Hall should have said it all. This is why I do not let my friends from Long Island pick the venue.

The crowd... ehh, could be better, but my biggest problem was the service. From the second we sat down they were already trying to get us out and turn the table around. The waiter was just there, not inviting or a smile or anything. The food came out quicker then it does in McDonalds. Seriously, we ordered the appetizer and in 3.5 minutes it was out. Before we even finished chewing the last bite the bus boys came to take away the plate. It was realy annoying to see them in the corner of your eye gawking every 5 seconds ready to take the plate away whether or not it had food in it, asking are you done with this yet? Does it look like I'm done when there's still food in my plate and I'm holding my utensils? Even with trying to prolong the experience we were out of there in 45 minutes. For this price I was appalled at this kind of speedy service. Not worth ever going again.
