by Margarite Swartzlander on Smoke is a great venue, with bistro-type food that is surprisingly good, a very decent wine list, and fantastic (on my night) jazz. We went to a CD release party, and I thought the band was amazing. In San Francisco, as my friend said, they'd fill a much bigger venue. And I would not necessarily have expected good food, but I really liked it. They roasted their asparagus and carrots (small thin ones), and the carrots had rosemary. Very good. The meats all looked quite good: as I said, bistro-y. We split a pear tart that was great (a fantastic crust), and had a terrific and well-priced 2002 Spanish Rioja Reserve. We couldn't believe our luck. As I said, it was one of those experiences that was as good as one hopes it will be. Not only were expectations exceeded, but hopes were met. Three shows a night, with a per person minimum that we had no trouble meeting. It was all well worth it. Loved the neighborhood too: 105th and Broadway. Very peaceful in a hip but not too hip way. One could drive a scooter up there. So maybe I could live in New York. Okay, San Francisco it stays. But I'll be back to Smoke. It's very French, actually. Or how the French might imagine a New York jazz club. Which isn't a bad thing. At all. Kind of great, actually. I should mention, too, that it's a very intimate venue. They say 50 seats on their web site. That seems like an exaggeration.
by Amy R. on This place is the only thing in sight on a dimly lit street...which is good, because it means you can easily find a parking space. Wahoo! You might think you're in the middle of nowhere and that there couldn't possibly be a club there, but you'd be wrong...just follow the LOUD music. The dance floor and the bar are really attractive and they have giant screens with powerpoint/flash videos going on like they do at a football game...only they were showing boobies. The restrooms are not fancy, but they're clean and there's plenty of soap for you to wash your hands. There are all kinds of people, so that makes it fun. The crowd gets big enough that you can get reluctant dancers on the dance floor. Plus, you can pre-purchase tickets online so that's cool. Last night they were charging $20 for anybody who showed up after 11:00, but you could pre-order for $10. There is a patio for smoking if you are somebody who cares about such things.
