Metairie Section Becomes Swinging Center After Dark. The granddaddy of Fat City nightspots, Sancho Panza, explodes to the sounds of a rock band on a recent Friday night as couples maneuver on a crowded dance floor. For those with staying power, the club at 3521 18th St. has jam sessions on the weekends when most people are thinking about getting up and fixing breakfast.
