ROYAL/T (part duex)
Posted: 04/13/2008
That is how you throw a grand opening celebration. With a DJ mix that sounded like it was straight out of WOMB, we knew ROYAL/T pulled all the stops to kick things off right. Even details like maids servicing the people lining up outside were not over looked. Once inside, I do not think I was once without a cocktail, ranging from espresso martinis to some innocent looking fresh-squeezed watermelon concoctions that proved to be anything but innocent.
The art collection was straight out of the pages of Superflat, and will probably be easier to appreciate when ROYAL/T isn’t at max capacity like it was last night. I can imagine this space (for lack of a better term) will be quite delightful when afternoon tea is being formally served by its attentive and doting staff. But when they aren’t concerned about waking the neighbors, they can make you think you just stumbled out of a club in Roppongi Hills.
