Spice Resto-Lounge

There's a lot of pure, joyous animal charisma circulating at Spice Resto-Lounge. There are women in leopard-print cat suits and in spandex tank tops, in tiny, fringed minis that shimmy with every jut of the hip. There are lantern-jawed men with dark hair pulled into ponytails and pumped-up guys with shaved heads and designer eyewear. Flat-bellied, pierced, tattooed -- the staff here treats clothing like an optional accessory. Everything about Spice Resto-Lounge is cool without trying, from the easygoing supper-club menu of steaks, fresh fish, salads, and starters at reasonable prices to the Latin-themed cocktails to the nonstop entertainment that includes a lively house band, meringue dancers, and a bossa nova duo. You've tumbled down the rabbit hole and found yourself in Wonderland, only in this tall tale, Alice is wearing a G-string.
