Haven't been to the front room at the Paradise. I haven't been to the Paradise in some time, actually. Last time I was there they still had the big room and the Eurodisco dance club. TT's is fine, but very uncomfortable, and with a lot of places in the club where you can't even see the band. And I can't recall seeing a show there where I wasn't dissatisfied with the sound. For that matter, the Middle East downstairs is OK, but cavernous. dap Andrea Kremer wrote: > > The lizard lounge, the new front room at the paradise, ZuZu, and of course > TT's, to name a few. > > On Mon, 6 Oct 2003, David Pearlman wrote: > > > Yeah, the Kendall Cafe is a great place because of the artists > > they've booked in this small (very small) club.
