Since I had spent election night with friends at Natasha's, we decided to do the inauguration celebration there too. What I like about Natasha's is the sense of community that is fostered by the place. For example. in honor of Obama's inauguration, the restaurant prepared a huge ""inaugural ball"" made of chocolate ganache and gave everyone a free (and scrumptious) desert. The distribution of the ganache was done with great fanfare, with much good humor and was followed by dancing and merrymaking of all sorts. Natasha's is the place for intellectuals, bohemians and other oddballs to find themselves happily ensconced in a community of like-minded equals.
