There has been a lot of talk recently and concern that LPB is less than enthusiastic with the Sunday night Tango. Last Sunday I received more feedback from the Tango community and decided to initiate conversation with the LPB management. My questions were respectfully received and respectfully answered. I was asked to look around at the areas where we were sitting or where we had literally dropped shoes and coats. Andres, the Manager, expressed that he is hired to manage a restaurant and felt our belongs (tossed next to and under chairs/tables) detracted from the restaurant atmosphere. He personally likes the music and likes having the dancers there; however, we can make some changes to encourage a positive relationship with LPB.
There is a basement area in which there is a place for our shoes and our coats! This was news to me and I felt it important to pass this knowledge on so that starting this Sunday those at LPB could ask for the location of that area and start using it. Here is where we can change our shoes and store shoe bags and coats.
I will continue the conversation with Loring Pasta Bar management for those of us who go on Sunday nights and for the Tango community at large. We love the live music, atmosphere and dancing and it would be a tremendous lose if we were asked to discontinue there.
I am aware that on occasion the floor has been less than ideal....dirty and sticky. My hope is that as we become respectful to the restaurant (It's not a private milonga.), LPB will be more aware of our needs and more willing to accommodate us.
PLEASE remind your friends and pass this information to those who are not members of TSoM. If you have any questions or concerns, I will be very willing to listen and communicate with LPB.
Thank you
