Good Life equals good music
On my first visit to Good Life, I enjoyed the food. But even more, I enjoyed going to a Caribbean-themed business that didn't feature tie-dyed-looking murals featuring Bob Marley's face and the whole schlocky, cynical exploitation of the departed superstar. Even better, there was not a hint of Buffett anywhere!!

The Good Life comes to the East Side
Sweeping over Humboldt Avenue like a wave is a structure that also conjures the sound of the sea in a conch shell. And it will be the perfect home for Good Life, a Caribbean inspired bar and restaurant run by the husband and wife team of DJ and Cassie Brooks.
