Description
Walk into this LES rathskeller on a crowded evening and you may think youve stumbled into a bar mitzvahYiddish sing-alongs and folk dancing are ignited by the live synthesizer and further fueled by icy shots of vodka. The very Eastern European menu includes saline chicken liver, garlicky karnatzlack sausage and enormous beef tenderloins, all of which are hearty enough to slow down the hora. The sparse decor may be dated, but the prices arent: Order carefully or youll lose your dowry paying for your meal.

Went to a 50th birthday party there on Saturday night. The place was packed. The review pretty much describes the scene ( like a Bar-Mitsvah). Unless you are big fan of traditional Eastern Euro food you will not be impressed (I'm not and I wasn't.) It did not matter matter though, because the place is really about the music and the atmosphere. After a few of bottles of iced vodka and wine had been emptied, it did not matter. My bottom line was that although pricey, a fun time was had by all.
