Thinking back on my recent Saturday night in the Power & Light District for this story, I can only imagine some people’s reaction to the notion of an elitist, hipster Pitch writer spending time in the big, new, cheesy downtown entertainment district. To be honest, this is not the situation I usually enjoy getting into on a night out: masses of people waiting in endless lines to get into bars that charge a cover (even though there’s not an original band playing) and have relatively steep prices for drinks.

But I was determined to have a good time in the P&L. And I did. And I will do it again, possibly tonight.
