Hola Salseros!



Headline Salsa "Stuff"

After a busy weekend, this week is semi-quiet, with two action items for you:


1) Salsa Wednesdays 8th Anniversary Party at AnTuaNua TONIGHT!

Yes, that's right, Boston's original "Salsa Night by Salseros for Salseros" is 8 years old now. It started at Sophia's with just a dozen or so people... Gosh, I'm tearing up! LOL!

Anyway! We're featuring for the first time ever, LIVE MUSIC on a Wed., with Latin Fire! Plus PERFORMANCES with Salsa Y Control and Hacha Y Machete! AND... of course the cake. Come and find out about the cake! Scroll down for details.

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.
