Miami Nights

Yesterday Fraq, some coworkers, and I checked out a new spot called Amendment XXI, which is on the north end of the Design District at 46th St and 2nd Ave. It’s a really interesting looking place with tons of prohibition-related bullshit all over the walls and big comfortable not-quite-period but still fun to look at chairs piled all over the place. The drinks were strong (and supposedly cheap, but we weren’t paying, muahaha), the staff was fairly attentive, and best of all it had that “I just discovered an oasis in the hood” feeling that I love. They also have food, which looked very much like something found in the jungle, but they probably had a sale on Iceberg Lettuce at Publix so who cares. Since it was kind of early (happy hour), we weren’t able to check out the sound system when it’s running at max, but it’s a small room and I think it will be sufficient. I recommend checking it out for a casual drink next time you’re in the neighborhood.

The owner told me he wasn’t interested in working with promoters, but from what I understand, the people who threw the POST party at Metropolis (before it became the equivalent of a holding tank for TGK prisoners) will be throwing a Wednesday night event here. Worth investigating.
