Florencia 13: Beneath the pachuco, chicanos are grooving out to the trendy Depeche Mode-style music of She Wants Revenge while devouring sumptuous Mexican fare. Patrons just can’t get enough of the homemade mole and killer drinks like the East LA and flaming margarita served by owner/bartender Leonard. Florencia 13 has successfully blended the authentic LA vibe into the uniqueness of Greenwich Village, where fashionistas and scruffy hipsters sit side-by-side in harmony. And, if you’re still fighting for your right to party, keep your eyes peeled for the Beastie Boys, as the grapevine whispers that Ad-Roc is a regular. |
