  1. To be quite honest. I live right across White&Church and I really don’t hear anything. Plus I went there for the first time last night and was quite impressed with the Chef and the crazy ‘Mixologist’ lady. She is pure passion.
    * I am very picky when it comes to food and his dishes are fantastic. The only part I felt was weird was that the crowd looked more like people who work in the area and tourist rather than neighborhood locals.
