Swift’s immense cultural influence and hoards of devoted fans made the decision to hold the themed drag brunch an easy one. “Since we’re a NOLA concept, anything goes,” says owner Mark Domitrovich, whose group also operatesfavorite Lottie’s Pub. “We want to keep it light and fun, and we’re always looking for something new. The Taylor Swift madness has been crazier than ever.”In Chinatown, one cocktail bar is taking the opposite approach. A sign on the door at Best Bar, 2233 S.
Inspired by a regular who requested a ban on Swift's music for his birthday celebration, the sign now indicates a permanent policy, co-owner Chris Cinka tells. Instead, Best Bar’s DJs are playing “a variety of house music,” a genre that Cinka associates with his hometown of Detroit but was invented and popularized in Chicago. Requests for Swift songs have reportedly spiked since the sign went up, which the team takes as gentle teasing on the part of customers.
In the end, though, these are merely Champagne problems. Good luck to all who face the wrath of Swifities.Check your inbox for a welcome email.By submitting your email, you agree to our
