‘Todd’s’ Downtown Banana Lounge opens Saturday night (for at least one night)

Man, I’ve been seeing ads for “Todd’s” Downtown Banana Lounge showing up a lot lately.

The promise of free beer intrigues me. Strangely, the ads haven’t said where Saturday night’s grand opening party was located or what time the party starts. Hmm. So I dialed up the “Todd” in Todd’s Downtown Banana Lounge: Todd Berkowitz.

Todd cleared up the oversight, saying everything starts at 7 and the place to be is the southwest corner of 18th and Central in the Crossroads. Todd’s favorite drink, he was sure to mention, is Clear 10 Vodka with a banana wedge. Mm hmm. But this guy knows how to market a party. Who can resist “free beer” and “classy broads”? But Todd insisted that the grand opening is a VIP affair, though he told me he’d welcome all party people who e-mail him.

But how can I doubt Todd after the guys at Bicmedia, home of the Celsius Tannery jingle, vouched for him in song.
