UPDATE: Innuendo Changes Its Name
I am scared to death of this place. I don't know if it's, like, mistresses only or if it's, like, a swinger's club or what. It opened sometime in 2011, I think, but I haven't been inside yet. I don't even walk in front of it; I cross the street.
Could you pick a sleazier name? Innuendo? Do you even know what an innuendo is? "An indirect remark, gesture or reference, usually implying something derogatory," according to the Big Book of Words.
I'm picturing Jan Hooks and Phil Hartman doing a mock commercial on "Saturday Night Live," in which they seductively whisper "Innuendo!" to each other over shots of dimly lighted booths occupied by couples who look like Joey Buttofouco and Amy Fisher. Or better yet, it's like Bill Hader as Stefano: "The hottest club in town is Innuendo! This place has everything: Harry S. Truman lookalikes who belly-dance in taffeta bikinis, Samoan bartenders who will braid your hair when you're not looking and pornographic video games from Scandinavia!"
The restaurant's Web site does little to ease my fear: "Innuendo was created to offer its guests a sensual trip through the cuisines of the Far East, Russia, the Middle East, Spain, the Caribbean, as well as traditional American favorites." In other words ... it's Babu's American Dream Cafe on Ecstasy.
