Stardust Lounge
Overview: When MaisonO opened, people weren't sure how it would fare compared to its former inhabitant, Kenmare. Now, several months later, Matt Abramcyk and Serge Becker have put any doubts to rest. Stardust Lounge now has a separate entrance, and the space has become more open to accommodate the large crowd it draws in. The club reflects the vibrancy of Tokyo throughout, and there are separate rooms tucked away for activities like karaoke when DJs like Leslie Kirchoff and Keiichiro aren't spinning.
Location: 98 Kenmare
Team: Matt Abramcyk (Sandpiper), Serge Becker (Bodega Negra, The Box, Miss Lily's, La Esquina)
Insider's Scorecard: Stardust Lounge at MaisonO was guaranteed to be a hit among the downtown crowd due the the names behind it and its location. It's lived up to the hype, serving as one of the most popular spots below 14th Street with parties frequently hosted by nightlife mainstays Travis Bass and Tommy Saleh. They've hosted parties with Galore and Suno, and recently had Zac Efron staying out all night there for "That Awkward Moment" after-party.
