by christine a. on My wonderful, crazy French friend brought me here, the two of us sans enfants for the first time together. I was a bit skeptical, as I scanned the crowd that looked like they were mostly born the year I graduated high school. A couple of tart, lovely hibiscus margaritas and infectious beats later, and it became a whole new experience. I felt like I was transported to a foreign land where all ages and colors and creeds meshed together in a sweetly, sweaty, sexy vibing dance party. It was only a matter of time that we were surrounded by the most charming Colombian mathemeticians, who were also amazing dancers. The tallest Colombian, with the Andy Garcia eyes, not only made an awesome merengue partner, but he also made my week, by sincerely assuring me that I had to be much younger than he. Of course, I was right, and he was born when I was a sophomore. But, Hey on a cool, foggy Friday night at Little Baobab...the world seems warm and sensuous and magical...and for that moment in time, there is no such thing as age.
by Yong Osnoe on I think I genuinely do like Marquee. The space is large and there are two types of music playing (house - Americanized, and hip hop/top 40). The downstairs space is quite big, but tables are arranged in such a way that the dance floor does feel a bit small. I think it does a good job. The dance floor upstairs (hip hop/top 40) always feels bigger but I don't think it is; there are a lot of tables. There is also a space in the back that they occasionally close up. I don't think they play any specific music there. Drinks are ok but I've only had vodka tonics there and they didn't screw it up (run from the place that screws up a vodka tonics) The crowd can be quite mixed but lately it tends to be very European. I think that almost everyone I've talked to there last time was either Spanish, Italian, or British. I think it's because of the recession. Either way, I good place to party on Fri night.
