Karoake…..oops….Karaoke….’carry okie’, get it?
that’s what’s going on at Red’s tonight, courtesy of Mikhail the Salsa King…is Red’s ground zero for the many spanish schools/hostels in that part of town? just wondering how they make their nut/stay alive…
major structural/internal changes at a bar/eatery on 4th Calle..rumor has it…4 partners equals too many ways to split the pie, assuming that there is enough to split…one of the principals supposedly wants to shift from cooking to training..but if they can’t train the staff to make hash browned potatoes (they’re serving frozen spuds from Price Smart) how can they expect to train them to do something more complicated? soup? open the can….
Carla B and Richard in town…she leaves us (Antigua) on July the furst, for Ireland…’fer good, she says…Irelands gain, our loss..Piano Mike leaves us for a couple of months, in about a month but Joe Lada aka Bobby Darling will be back in town soon..he and Moriah have gigs at La Estancia, of all places here and in the City…somebody saw them on TV!
the word is that the ‘Perfesser’ and Reid are returning in September and will look for a house to share, aka becoming permanent residents…they’ll raise the IQ level in several places, a good thing…now that Reid has given up his Land Rover dream..yeah, I shot it a bit..ok? it was dead..now it’s even deader..
Travel Menu’s newest wrinkle? cocktails like martini’s and Manhattans/…and Sinatra and Dean Martin on the stereo…’had a Manhattan/good/heard a snatch of Frank and then Capt Jerry was sitting up…cognitive dissonance..per Jerome this will be a ‘once a month thing’…dress the help better and find some old Dean Martin TV shows to play…set the mood, dude..that and more candles/better lighting, so that folks can see what they’re eating..and lastly/leastly, yet another travel agency on 6th avenida, between 5th and 6th calles..National…bigger, better, spiffier..Papatown closed, La Rumba semi-open, and 13, the failed ‘concept bar’, struggling…don’t these people ever learn?
and Evelyn Mundo, that super sweet heart, in town from El Salvador…she’s about the nicest/sweetest lady I know
