Runway

Last night we went to the newly opened lounge Runway on fifth and 28th for the first time.  The club was opened in April by Greg Barrias and Rich Messina.  But nothing, including an opening night hosted by Ashley Simpson, a 17 foot long backlit catwalk, or walls clad in models comp cards (headshots) could turn this into the new “hot spot”.  We went in with no expectations and left with exactly that…nothing special going on here, but could make for some potentially fun drunk practice runway walks…

 Isn’t this one enormous liability waiting to happen?
