I only want 2 see U crying in Tequila Rain

This weekend, we found ourselves outside Axis before the Lily Allen show, starving but too daunted by the cold and the ice to go far for food. In better weather, or with a little more time before the show, we could easily have marched to: India Quality, Eastern Standard, UBurger (which I keep hearing mixed things about and have yet to try), Audubon Circle, El Pelon, Trattoria Toscana, Great Bay, Petit Robert...

Where did we wind up?

Here.

Oh, the agony. The place was cavernous, and empty. The only action was a row of Slush Puppie-style drink coolers churning bubblegum pink and turquoise alcoholic concoctions. I'm sure it gets crazy sometimes. For one thing, its website touts it as a popular spot for bachelorette parties and girls nights out, and there seems to be an event called "Buff Fridays." As for the food, well, we didn't get food poisoning. Sometimes that's all I ask for.

I think this every time I'm there, but Lansdowne Street is just crying out for an Anna's Taqueria or some Rami's falafel. Surely someone out there is looking for a franchise opportunity.

Save the clubgoers! Feed them real food!
