If you have been paying attention to what's happening in Lexington, you have likely noticed that in recent months, Natasha's Bistro has been picking up steam in a major way, with a new lease on booking and recent renovations (not to mention brilliant future plans) helping cement their status as one of Lexington's most diverse, unique and all around illustrious hot spots.
This morning, the restaurant/bar/theatre/music venue was featured on NPR's Morning Edition, one of the leading radio news shows in the country.
The story drew from multiple interviews wiht Natasha Williams, who owns Natasha's Bistro along with her husband Gene, and also directs Natasha's theater group, Balagula Theatre. The NPR Website features video clips of Balagula Theatre Production “Pillowman” (April 2008), starring Balagula’ Artistic/Managing Co-Director Ryan Case ( Winchester), Joe Gatton (Lexington), David Richmond (Versailles), Pete Sears (Lexington).
Natasha's Bistro and Bar is home recurring weekly and monthly events such as Tawaga Tuesdays, Wandering Storytellers, LexJam, and Rakadu Gypsy Dancers, as well as nightly cultural events (concerts, theater, etc.). On August 23 they will host Over The Rhine, and they will also take part in Lexington's upcoming 3-day multi-venue music and art festival BOOMSLANG, presented by WRFL on October 9-11.
You can find their full schedule at www.beetnik.com.
Way to go Natasha's - thanks for doing more than your share to put Lexington on the cultural map!

Thanks for the recommendation! I went to Natasha's with my boyfriend after reading your blog post. We saw some bellydancing, heard nice music, had tasty food---a good time was had by all. Thanks again.
