Lala's Lil Nugget

So we went to the Peacock the other night and it was nice but Lala's rulz. I've been going to Lala's since 1994 or so. Before that it was the Carousel Lounge but that was trendy by 1994, sad because it was a gem. Buddy's Place is still pretty exclusive but it is too far down the road, Lala's in right in the hood.

What makes the place so cool is the year round Christmas decor, paneling and the fact that it looks like a VF hall on the inside and is part of a strip mall on the outside. The only drawback about the place is the smoke that lingers in the air . I don't even think it's recent either. So many people have smoked in that tiny bar that it's soaked into the walls, the floor, the decor and it's thivk. You breathe in smoke from 20 years ago to the present. As a result, I don't linger as long as I used to.

Coffee bar opening on the corner! That would really complete the comfort zone. With Denny's, Lala's, Frisco, Sun Harvest, Terra Toys, Zingers, Elsi's, Oaxacan Tamaleo and Half Price, all needs are met within a 5 mile radius.
