by M M. on Being Heterosexual, I had never been anywhere close to Castro so going to a restaurant in Castro (according to rateclubs, it was in Castro) was something new. I was surprised to see how nice the neighborhood was. Lime has very cool ambiance but it is very loud! Service was "very" slow. I ordered mini burgers and they were good. However, they were 3 or 4pcs of mini burgers and it was $9.00 - I have to say it was overpriced. I would give 3 stars and recommend Lime for birthday parties or any other party like events.
by Olivia C. on Tequila Pain!! How do you play Ludacris then "Brown Eyed Girl?" That's like eating a fried fish icecream paninni?! Apparently I have a little self-abusive streak, because I went to a top 40 club on Landsdowne during a game. This place claims in a Wall Street type neon news sign: "Spring Break every day" What was I drinking?! In hindsight I'd like to say it was for social experiment but I was, also duped because I thought my Roxbury friends were taking me to a hip-hop or reggae joint! No, we are going to "Tequila Rain, the best club on Landsdowne Street." $5 admission, Lots of ugly orange guys, sparkly Red Sox cleavage, free-porn site-type-cell-phone-camera exhibitionism, people looking to bone the best chance they have, $6 beers. Nooo... apparently my gansterrr friends get down to "Sweet Caroline," "Resepect," "Dirty Water," "Brown Eyed Girl," and "I'm Blue and I'm in Need of a Guide," and "The Venga Bus is Coming" in between sparse, and truely danceable songs from the likes of MIA, JZ, salsa mix, etc. Now, I know there are all kinds of musical taste and that's fine. I happen to like hip-hop when I go dancing, and good indie electro, soul; funky stuff. But after tonight I am more accepting of me being more selective with both people and music. People who get hyped to songs that have been played 4 trillion times on the radio, movies, and commericials are dumb. People that get hyped to rhythm-less, lite-dance, soul-less drivel are dumb. And that's ok. But wait....there is a lot of great music out there people!! You don't have to go out and get dressed up to dance to commercials and canned corporate music industry bubble gum!! Sure, it can be argued that Van Morrison, and Aretha and whoever the hell sings "Sweet Caroline," are great artists. I guess some people also get hyped to Xtina. And I happen to enjoy some of this music sometimes. But a good song can be absolutely played to death. You hear it so many times it's not even a song anymore. I don't get hyped when I hear a song that is basically the white noise of mainstream America. DJ WAIT A MINUTE How the hell do you play MIA and then "Brown Eyed Girl"? Why don't you follow up T-Pain with Billy Joel for cry eye!? Oh, the humanity! Tequila Rain--"Stupid, aggressive Top 40 purgatory." Best club on Landsdowne
by Rudolph Sizar on Silk City Diner was amazing. It is one of the first places I went to when I came to Philadelphia. It made me feel right at home, and all of the food was phenomenal. :\ Man, I miss it.
