I can personally vouch that Aron in fact loves drag queens, and is just covering up the fact that he lives to PARTY. This would be were I yell WOO and chug a stupid shot while getting teabagged by a transvestive, but I'm not Aron.

i've been to lucky's a bunch of times for dinner, and also to the bar around the corner that they also own- the hawaiian themed one- and let me tell you- the food sucks at both. it's not just bad- it's also overpriced. so they should fix the food and lower the prices before they sue zagats.

I haven't been to Lucky Cheng's in a long time but the food is pretty hit-or-miss (or is that hit-or-mister?) You go for drinks and the show and unfortunately have to pay for a lousy meal as well. With all the great restaurants in the East Village can't they find a few good chefs?

It seems to me that the real solution would be to start making better food. I can't personally speak for Cheng's since I have never eaten there. Though right across the street is the best pie I have found in town (so far) at Lil' Frankies. If I really felt I needed an evening of drag queens I don't think food would be high on my list of priorities. If a restaurant reviewing company were succesfully sued for low ratings it would ruin such ratings systems entirely. I doubt I would have ever gone to Lucky Cheng's but I sure as heck won't go now.
