This LES "heartburn city" brings on "old-fashioned" Jewish staples "covered in schmaltz" and vodka in ice blocks in a "grungy basement" setting where a keyboardist spouts "nonstop shtick"; like being in a "perpetual bar mitzvah", the clamorous "cavorting" could cause "cardiac arrest" – but it's a "great way to go."
