    I like it like that!  The place is sold out!
    Alexander R.

    The show was a hit! The place was fully sold out and the vibe was outstanding. We enjoyed drinks and free Goya treats. The venue is outstanding with great service and really well organized to handle the crowds. Seating is comfortable and the view is great from wherever you are seated. Lehman College is a great place for educational excellence in the Bronx and giving people from the city a place to elevate their place in our society. I graduated from there many years ago and I teach there now, my alma mater continues to make me proud.

    I was super bedazzled by the Drum Tao Performance. We came to the Lehman Center for the Performing Arts with no expectations and were definitely impressed by the performance and would definitely watch another one of their show. The performance consists of combine music and dance that reflects Japanese tradition, and also incorporates Korean, Maori, and Indonesian influences.

    Totally appreciate this venue. Not only are the shows awesome, but they display the diversity and culture of the Bronx. I've seen better shows at Lehman than at Madison Square Garden. A true Bronx treasure!

    Historically The Paradise Theater should have landmark status if it doesn't. I'm glad to see that…read morethe old relic has been brought back to life. The venue itself is very old but in good condition. Depending on what show you choose will determine your total experience. I went to see the O'Jays & Maze & Frankie Beverly and had a really good adult time. Acoustics were good, entrainment top notch and the crowd was behaved & mature. Cut to 2012 for Fantasia, Charlie Wilson on Mothers Day & then Lil Kim the next weekend and things at the Paradise have gone down hill in only two years! Mind you the entertainment was great, but the crowd was rowdy, standing in orchestra $100.00 seats and some folks smoking weed (uggghhh)!!!!! C'mon, give me a break, sure I like to dance with the best of them, but hell, who wants to stand for two hours? Straight hood. A tad chaotic out front with little direction on which line to stand in and will call/pick up for tickets. The only plus is the cheap parking. All & all I'm glad that the Paradise is back but it's just a matter of time before it becomes a run down shell again.

    Saw The Killers here on 9/18 for their YouTube LiveStream courtesy of American Express and their…read more"Unstaged" series. This is a series of shows where AMEX pairs up bands with well known directors and streams them online...The Killers chose to work with Werner Herzog for this particular show. Ok, now that I got the reason I was here out of the way, let's review - this show was "Will Call" for people who purchased their tickets online and lucked out with General Admission tickets. The "Will Call" folks were made to get their tickets at 5:37pm when doors were supposed to open at 5:30pm. Their process for this was messy and unorganized. People were made to step out of the line, get their tickets and wristbands and then proceed to get back in line in the correct order. I got there around 9:15am because I'm a HUGE Killers fan and wanted to make sure I was up front and center of the barricade throughout their performance. I'm 5ft tall and it's how I enjoy shows for bands I really like, sue me - but people were getting in front of me (and others!) who had no business skipping people, so of course a little drama ensued (erupted up in the very front, I was person #16, my section was drama - the very front of the line was a warz one, lol). After the line reformed it turned out that our pre-ripped tickets (ripped by the folks handing out tickets) should not have been ripped because now security couldn't scan their barcodes (insert eyeroll here). So we were instructed to walk in slowly and show our wristbands and tickets. Oooookay. Fast forward 45 minutes after everyone ran in like 8th graders on a last day of school, security kept selectively asking to see people's wristbands...personally I think if Will Call tickets were distributed when the box office opened or at least 30 minutes prior to doors and tickets not ripped then a lot of chaos could have been avoided. It's not Paradise Theater's first "Will Call" show, they should have a better system in place by now... Now for the show. I was exactly where I wanted to be, front and center right, pressed up the barricade. The theater is quite beautiful with a certain mod 1920's feel. It's big enough to house a bombastic performance as provided by The Killers, but felt small enough to create an intimate experience despite it being a sold out gig. The sound could have been better, venues like Roseland and Webster Hall surely excel in this area and I attend enough concerts that I've developed an ear for this sort of thing. Security was good in controlling the crowd which in all fairness didn't require much "controlling". I remember when this theater first popped up on my concert radar when I saw bands I liked booking shows here. My first reaction was, "Pffffft, I'm not going to the Bronx, I'll wait till they play in the city or Brooklyn again". Killers got me there and honestly, I commuted from Jackson Heights, Queens. It wasn't bad at all and I'd surely do it again. My experience here was definitely a solid 4 stars but I'm sure for most people a 3.5 or 3.

    I came to the Shrine World Music Venue with a few friends after a Friday evening at a cigar lounge…read more I had no expectations and had walked by the Shrine several times not knowing what was there along Adam Clayton Powell Boulevard. Unless you know about it, you can easily walk by, given it blends into the general Harlem cityscape, especially during the day. Then at night, especially during the afterhours when I was there, the scene flips and this place becomes turnt up! People were lined up trying to get inside at 0130. The bouncers were searching and patting people down, nothing absurd or overly intrusive. There is a cover charge and they take credit cards for the cover. As you walk inside, the bar in on your right. Keep going and the dancefloor awaits you. It's not that large, but people are generally very courteous. There are a few places to sit, especially in the back in the left corner. That is also where the steps lead you downstairs, presumably to the restroom, which I did not have to use. The vibe is poppin' inside and it is fed by the DJ on a stage in the back, playing Worldbeats, Afropop, Afrobeats, Reggae, Dance Hall, and Soca. They are setup for live bands here. The volume is high, but not uncomfortably or earsplittingly high. The people here are drawn to this vibe and energy. You can dance here all night and the air conditioning and ventilation are of the capacity to keep you and everyone else comfortable. Stick around until closing time at 0400 when everyone starts walking out and the AC nearly turns the Shrine into a refrigerator. For an unassuming place on the outside, it is clear this is a place you can come to with friends or a date if this is your vibe and it's hard to imagine anyone not enjoying this. Prices are reasonable too at the bar. They have a good selection of draught and bottled beer. Guinness on tap was $9 for a pint. They serve up the cocktails too. Four fun and returnworthy stars!

Wisely recognized as America's oldest tavern with its stone facade, the Old '76 House, located on Main Street in Tappan, has been welcoming guests and was restored to its pristine condition by the Norden family. Step inside, and nearly every corner tells a story that served as a meeting place for local patriots during the American Revolutionary War. It also welcomed General George Washington for dining on occasion. He once received plans at the establishment that exposed Benedict Arnold as a traitor--prompting a dramatic reaction still talked about today. Upon entering without a reservation today for lunch, my partner and I were greeted by the host and got a cozy table by the fireplace with original Delft tiles in the Tap Room. The interior features rustic beamed ceilings, four fireplaces, vintage portraits, historical certificates and documents, as well as costumes and artifacts where patrons were able to walk around and marvel at them. The menu reflects the tavern's heritage, with dishes inspired by early American cuisine. We decided on the Thanksgiving Sandwich accompanied with fries and the Traditional American Meatloaf over Mashed Potatoes and Steamed Vegetables. For dessert, we shared Hannah's Apple Crunch with vanilla ice cream. But even more than the great and delicious food was the history, ambiance, and especially the way we were treated. Our server was Joe and checked on us often. The portion was healthy and the price comparable to the area's. If one has even a passing interest in American history, then it's a must to come here. Not just a meal, but an experience!

But when I want to have an elevated experience with a nod to fine dining, this is my go-to. I always bring friends from out of town here and everyone is impressed. The bartenders make the best martinis and Manhattans you'll find, along with a seasonal cocktail menu that features something for everyone, including mocktails. When I don't want a full dining experience but the hubs and I have a babysitter, we like to sit at the bar for martinis and oysters - SO FRESH! If you don't do oysters, anything on the appetizers list is a wonderful light bite. I don't know what kind of magic the chef uses to make the salads but they are always simple, yet stunning. For dinner, the steak is hard to pass up if you eat red meat. I usually get the single serving NY strip, which is incredible. You can't go wrong. I'm excited to try the porterhouse for 2. My mollusk loving friend raved about the mussels and the fish selection is fantastic. I'm not a big dessert person, but splitting any of the desserts is a treat. Alternatively, the digestif selection doesn't disappoint. The bartenders and bar manager, Nick, are helpful in guiding your taste buds to the right choice. Bud, the owner, whose previous establishments can be read about in some respectfully placed articles around the restaurant, is always accommodating for the busiest place in town. It's nearly impossible to get a seat on Friday and Saturday nights from 6-9, but he will be honest and create a space at one of the little side bar areas if he can. The ambiance is sexy and sophisticated with a touch of whimsy. The toilet paper holder in the restroom always makes me smile (IYKYK). Having been to this restaurant many times, you'll start to see familiar faces as there is now a strong regular crowd. The community and connections that I've found while at Lyonshare have enhanced my experience of living in Beacon. Oh, last thing - brunch is a can't miss, must do culinary event.

This style developed from the French-speaking Acadians who were chased out of Canada following the French and Indian War in the 18th century. They settled in Louisiana and adapted their cooking to the local ingredients. Located on Teaneck Road in Teaneck, we were recommended this establishment for their soft opening dinner by our friends. A reservation was made by calling this restaurant. Upon arrival, my partner, our friends, and I managed to find parking shared with other stores. We were excited to try out Creole / Cajun cuisine as first-timers at Medley's Bayou. For some of us, Cajun food usually has a kick to it. Contrary to popular belief, an authentically prepared Cajun dish does not involve eye-watering heat. Greeted by the host at the door, we made our way to a table inside their small, warm, and inviting vibe with a stage for live music. The selective menu features fresh, lively, made-to-order Louisiana-inspired classics. As an appetizer, we decided on Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes and Jumbo Lump Crab Bisque Soup. For our main meal, we opted for the Ribeye Steak with Spanish Rice, Ribeye Steak with Cajun Fries, Stuffed Lobster Tail with Crab, and Lemon & Herb Chicken. Complimentary Teriyaki & Fresh Ginger Wings and Pineapple Cornbread started our meal. Our meal took a while, but we knew it was made fresh: nothing frozen or re-heated. The food was bold and more about the layering of smoky, garlicky, peppery flavors than about heat. I was so looking forward to some beignets and sadly didn't have them, which calls for another visit. The portions were just right, and the price was comparable to the area. Our server was Heather, who was friendly and made sure our glass was filled. Howard, the owner and head chef, welcomed every patron by making small talk. Those who have never tasted Louisiana-inspired food need only try it once to experience the richness and depth of its flavors.
