by Oliver M. on im not much of a reviewer but i feel like i need to get this off my chest. came here with friends after being told that there was 40 minute wait at CookShop. looked at the brunch menu and decided to come here instead. the park is great looking, i will give it that. our server was a very friendly and attentive at first. about 15 minutes after we placed our orders, i was told that turkey burger was not available. i said "NO PROB MAKE IT BEEF :) " these things happen. see? im not a pain in the ass. food arrived and was cold, flavorless and totally run of the mill. actually, i couldve gotten a better quality brunch at any old diner off the nj turnpike. we were VERY disappointed. all you'll get is ambiance and character - but the food is very high school cafeteria depressing.
by Jasmine C. on Nuyorican is in a class all its own. The atmosphere is relaxing, the personalities of the hostess, poets and bartenders are warm , the patrons are friendly and you come out of the experiences a slightly more enlightened individual. It is a great place to spend a night. My only piece of advice is : make sure if you are going to attend the Friday night slam that you arrive early. I always try to get their by 9:15 to ensure that I have have a seat.
by Gerard Slipp on Okay, wow, this was a different experience! I had so much fun! ATMOSPHERE: I'm used to going out dancing and getting all dressed up, but this place it doesn't matter. I still got dressed up just because I felt like it, but I fit right in since the crowd was so diverse - I even saw my old physics professor from Ga Tech! Ha! Average age I'd say is mid to late 20's in this place. This is the place to go if you want to get your dance on and get a good workout. It's really dark in this place and heats up pretty quickly. However, this can be alleviated by certain spots where the AC blows directly on you. There are at least 2 that I know of. 2 sections/rooms - both huge. One was more hip-hop oriented with a break dancing dance off. Other room is more rock/techno. Place seemed kind of grunge...dirty. Definitely not a fancy place. COVER: None on Wednesday nights, which is MJQ night from what I'm told. HOWEVER, guys have to pay $5 if you are wearing sandals. CONCLUSION: I will be back! It was sooo much fun! NOTE: I've only been 1 night - Wednesday night.
