REVIEW:
Pizza boutique with a lounge that's chic. Located on the border of Chinatown and Little Italy, Louie and Chan strives to embody both areas and succeeds in being in a class of its own.

Form, fashion and good food - Louie and Chan provides a trendy way grab some pizza and a drink.

2. Mark Lee plays acoustic guitar and a variety of percussive instruments in the band. He and Brian Waddell know an awful lot more than I do about professional sports.
3. Terry and his wife Alexis Saarela are expecting a baby girl and have two of the most friendly cats on the planet.
4. Risa Harms kicked off the ETV concert with her cover of "Welcome to the Jungle." Sadly, I missed it because I thought the band was downstairs "setting up."

5. Robin Rothman sang "Rolling in the Deep." I shouldn't play favorites but since she's my wife, I will. She was my favorite.
6. Louie Pearlman did the most elaborate and lyrically-challenging ETV song I have ever witnessed. It was a cover of "Genius of Love" by the Tom Tom Club (link to video).
RATING:
4.41/5
