Folles In Love All Over Again

La Cage aux Folles and it's new stars were featured on this week's episode of NY1 On Stage with Roma Torrey, who gave the show yet another glowing review:

"Seedier than ever!"
(and yes, that's a big compliment!)

OLiO


OLiO - 3 Greenwich Ave @ West 8th Street

Last week when I first read about OLiO on gothamist.com I was struck by the ginormous, mirrored, disco-ball-like pizza oven hulking in the corner.

Apparently the thing heats up to like a thousand degrees or something, and they only cook the pizzas for 30-45 mother-effing SECONDS.... to achieve this weird crispy/yet doughy paradox that also allows the toppings to remain totally frosh.

Hallsey (@hallcarlo) and I went to check it out for ourselves on Saturday night, and here are the bullet points:

- Cocktail Menu: light summery drinks, all designed for ladies. I had the Aperol Spritzer (Proseco, Aperol, Soda) that was a nice starter, but gimme a better Vodka selection, por favor.

- Table Decor: ditch the pointless Manora-looking candle holders and make a little more room for my plate, thanks.

- Dinner Menu: please re-print in a legible format.... 8 point font is hard to read in the near-dark.

- The Amalfitana Pizza was delish with fresh arugula and lemon slices.

 

RATING: 2-1/2 sillybandz
