Masa 14

OK, sooo... one of my girls flew into town this past weekend for what was slated to be her going out with a bang ceremony before being permanently attached to her guy's ankle... a bit of ball and chain action. Unfortunately, the person responsible for the shindig was pretty wack... there were even kiddies running about (Seriously). She was pretty vexed and called me to vent. We went to about four locations Saturday night and the third was Masa14. I loved how the place was spacious, warm & fuzzy when we walked in. We were greeted at the door and headed upstairs following the sound of some hot rhythms. At the top of the staircase there was a glass wall filled with a bar and plenty of happy people getting their House on. Yes! It was HouseDC night! To the left there was a DJ spinning the tightest House tunes and on the right side of the room there was the reverberation of congos being played by a guy in the corner crowded by clubbers who were clearly feeling themselves and the bartenders. We love live music! It was amazing how everyone was friendly and seemed to be living the high life. There were people from all different ethnic backgrounds and walks of life... a sort of melting pot. I turned around and walked back through the glass door and realized I was on a glassed in rooftop deck which provided a lounge like atmosphere for those who opted out on the housing action. I turned around again and noticed a slope of beautiful flora and fauna which added a romantic aspect. People were housing, spinning each other around, getting their vogue on in circles, dancing and romancing. And yes... you can put your star quality on display by posing for pics with SkyLiteDC. They had a photographer on hand to capture the haps play by play and help us recapture our fabulous moments. Masa14 is definitely the type of place you want to go if you want options and variety in your experience. My girls and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and it made up for the devastating bachelorette party. In addition to all these, Masa14 is also an award winning restaurant. I have not tasted the cuisine yet, but I plan to take a dive into brunch one weekend and let you all know the results. With a name like Masa you might think that there is plenty of dough involved, but I am happy to report that there was no cover to get in on the excitement.You can check out Masa14 on line and opt in on the mailing list here: www.masa14.com
