The city of Boise, Idaho might be way, way west of the Red River, but it still has its own little slice of New Orleans, thanks to this rowdy music hall smack-dab in the center of town. It's roughly the size of a big city nightclub (capacity is around 1,000) and books the same kinds of musical acts that might be found at such a place. Sasha and John Digweed, darlings of the club music circuit, played here in 2002, and funk- master George Clinton also brings his act to the Big Easy from time to time. The dance floor gets packed with hip-shakin' party people, and the spotlights bathe everything in disco-style blues and yellows. From the restricted balcony area, VIPs can get a birds-eye view of the action. People who need to get off their feet and grab a bite or a cold one can retreat to Bourbon Street, the lounge/restaurant area. -- Lena Katz
