Tokyo

I had read about this place somewhere before, and it didn't sound good at all. Sounded gimmicky. Why would I want to go to a place that's set up like an office, when I want to chill out and have a drink and get away from that crap.

But then a friend took us there, and it really is a chill space. The office theme exists, sure, but they thankfully didn't go overboard with it. The staff doesn't run around in ties and suits or anything, so that's just fine by me. Copy machine sits quietly over there by the DJ setup. And it actually does work.

Oh, the place was chill the night we were there. Mellow tunes, good volume—loud enough to feel like a party, but not so loud we had to shout at each other.

But the view is the kicker. A massive wall of windows looks out over Aoyama-dori right at a fork in the road. A nice "moving view" as a friend once put it.
