Here's a note we recently received from Jim:
Hi....really
enjoyed your piece on the Cicada Club.....I am a former L.A. resident
(Fairfax, Westwood, Brentwood) coming back into town this weekend and
was trying to find a place to dance on Saturday night....The CC came up (which led me
to your blog story)...but not much else...(The Edison downtown??
Teddy's/Roosevelt Hotel in H'wood?)) Any ideas to help out an old kinda
neighbor?

And our response:
Hi Jim!
Thanks so much for your kind words. I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed our blog on Cicada!
A
wonderful place you could check out is The Sky Room in Long Beach. It's
at the top of the historic Breakers building (with a view to die for),
and it looks like a sleek nightclub Fred and Ginger would have waltzed across back
in the day. There's a dance floor and a really nice crowd. The food is also
fantastic--I absolutely recommend having dinner and staying to
dance...it is definitely worth the drive.
If you're staying more in the DTLA or Hollywood area...The
Edison is amazing (mellow at dinnertime, more of a young club vibe later
in the night and definitely make a dinner reservation), The Roosevelt
is great for dinner at any of their restaurants and just hanging out,
and I LOVE Cleo at The Redbury (right at the corner of Hollywood and
Vine) for dinner. Sadly, there aren't too many supper clubs like Cicada
and The Sky Room that have dinner and dancing to bands...but, hopefully
that will change. Let me know if you check out any of these places, and how you like them. Have a wonderful visit!
