Simyone Says
Simyone Lounge, by the Numbers

A couple of weeks ago, we told you about a certain multi-leveled restaurant in the Meatpacking District. It was then we mentioned the glory that would soon be the underground lounge Simyone.

Welcome to soon.

Now that the lounge is quietly popping corks, we decided to check in. Of course, we could regale you with tales about leggy socialites and bottles of Veuve, but sometimes it's best to look at the facts and figures...
