boy did i stumble on a little gem this past sunday and its called the M Room (or the Manhattan Room) at Frankford & Girard Ave. in Fishtown. it used to be the old Manhattan Grill, known mostly for its horrible meatloaf and even worse decor of cheaply framed posters of the NYC skyline-uh, did they not realize they were in friggin philadef?
well, goodbye meatloaf and hello hipsters. M Room is now a club/bar and i danced my tush off as DJ deejaay spun only MMP (Madonna, Michael, Prince)...and the dance floor was littered with souls who either wanted to "express themselves", because they "can't stop till they get enough" or they just wanted to "party like it was 1999".
yes, it was always a fantasy of mine to go back in time to the late, great 80s and be just old enough to hit the clubs and dance to the awesome songs of the time. sunday night at M Room was the closest thing i've experienced to that fantasy---minus the high hair and ripped fishnets.
songs that riled people up the most: "Dress You Up (in my love)" by Madonna, "PYT (pretty young thang)" by Michael Jackson, and "When Doves Cry" by Prince.
