The bar's karaoke stage and small dance floor can get crowded, and lines aren't uncommon.

    Photo by Jack GouldFor millennia, the people of the Mediterranean have fought and even killed one another over matters both sublime and ridiculous. Among the former is the authorship of food. Falafel, for example: Would that be Lebanese or Greek?... More »
