Lula Lounge is a new find for me. I'm sure a billion people already know about Lula...and it's already their favorite place...but it's new to me and I just have to spread the word about how awesome it is!
If you've read a few of my posts on "Livingston Cooks", perused the archives, and perhaps checked out my links, you'll see that I have a bit of a passion for all things Latin. Yeah...it's true, I'm a Latin-o-holic! Hey...is that even a word?
Anyway, for me it all started with falling in love with Latin Music and Mexican food. The Margaritas kind of closed the deal too. I thought Latin dance was the final nail in the coffin, but then the love of Jazz combined with Latin music came along and Latin Jazz slapped me in the face. There's no turning back for me now. I'm a goner!
So, I moved to Toronto a couple of months ago and found I live around the corner from Lula Lounge. I first saw it when I was at the Brazilian Bakery across the street eating a luscious custard tart. I popped my head in that day and saw there was a smokin' Conga class underway. "Hmmmm...Conga classes would be cool," I thought. I also decided to check out the live Latin as well sometime in the future.
After that day, I heard a lot about Lula. Lula seems to be the Canadian headquarters for all things Salsa. Yep...Lula is the authority on Latin music in Canada. I hear "Lula, Lula, Lula" all day long on 91.1 Jazz FM. And 91.1 is second only to one Jazz station in North America and they definitely know where to find top quality Jazz, so Lula has a golden reputation in the Jazz community of Toronto because of the live Latin Jazz element found there.
We finally went to Lula for the first time just the other night. It was awesome! Lula offers a three course dinner, free Salsa lesson and live Latin music. The night we went, Cafe Cubano (a twelve man Salsa band) was playing. All I can say is , "Wow! These guys were smokin' and they were having as much fun as everyone on the dance floor (which they filled by the way).
Well...that's all I have to say on the matter. Lula Lounge kicks some serious ass, and that's all there is to it!
