This Week in Salsa

City Club is OPEN this week!

Join us this Thursday
City Club will be open this week (no union meeting), so join us as we get the party hopping yet again after our great Thanksgiving party a week ago. Lessons, dancing, lots of cool people, INEXPENSIVE COCKTAILS ($4 cocktails, $5 martinis, a comment we've received repeatedly), and more! Scroll down for details.

We'll be at An Tua Nua of course as usual tonight (Wednesdays). Scroll down.

Did you make it to the Thanksgiving party? Several people commented that it was supposedly hard to reach by public transportation. It's not! It's a few blocks from the Orange Line (Sullivan Square), and there are buses that drive past from Harvard, Davis, and Central Square if you don't feel like Tee-ing it over from Cambridge. Check out the directions page for more on that.

Please take the Thanksgiving Party Survey! (Click »)

We'd really like to know your thoughts, even from those that missed it. Thanks to all who responded so far.

More photos from the party are up!

Save the Date: Wed. Dec. 10

An Tua Nua is a great contemporary Irish bar & grill on Beacon Street just outside of Kenmore Square (only about 3 blocks from Sophia's). In the back they have a dance club about the same size as the upstairs at Sophia's, with a sizable dance floor that holds about 150 people, a bar, and plenty of lounge seating.

Close to the green line (St. Mary's on the C train, Fenway on the D, Kenmore on the B), plenty of street and lot parking.

Irish/America/Bar food available until 10pm. I have eaten there regularly, it is very tasty and modestly priced.

Note: they have Karaoke with my man Kev-Mac Daddy in the front portion of the bar when you walk in, but don't let that scare you... Salsa is in the back room! Full Bar. Please check your coat.
