Dig It

by pepper125

Luca Lounge newly revamped, and has become an intriguing underground East Village destination. One would not even know it existed unless they were tipped-off, or there for a specific event. The entrance is even in a different location; next door, no sign, awing...anything, just 222.

As an East Villager, I was relieved to find an establishment that hadn't turned completely commercial within our hood, once again. Thank God!!

nasty..

by elipoo

i worked here a while ago for like 2 days. some really nasty people own and run the place. it was horrible with the chefs/manager screwing things up and blaming the waitstaff. anyway, maybe they've changed now, but about a year ago it was really horrible being there. seemed like elitist snobs. i'm not surprised that business keeps failing there. anyway, i would never go back. i didn't even go back to get my shift pay.

sweeeet garden, equally sweet decor

by cindarella222

i live around the corner and use luca lounge almost weekly as a win/win place to take friends from out of town. it's cool yet unpretentious and the sangria gives me a reason to get out of bed in the morning. the service can get a bit slow when its packed on the weekends, but overall it's one of the better places to go regardless of the night of the week.

• Pros: awesome vintage funrniture, lots of space, outdoor garden
• Cons: pricey drinks, close garden at 1, hard to move around on weekends
