There have been new development projects in Tokyo in recent years -- the Roppongi Hills, Maru Building Renovation, the Omotesando Hills, and the latest one, the Tokyo Midtown, will open this coming Friday, March 30.
Using the land where the Defence Agency was formerly built, the Tokyo Midtown is a compound of shops, offices and residents. My friend and I went to its preview tonight. We were impressed by the world-class restaurants....the Union Square Hospitality Group, which runs fine restaurants in New York City such as Tabla (which I LOVE:) and the Eleven Madison Park, both were actually used to shoot some scenes of the popular drama Sex and the City, will open its first restaurant outside Manhattan here in the Tokyo Midtown!!
So, here we went to its opening reception (see picture: from left, myself, Union Square Hospitality Group's President and CEO Mr. Danny Mayer, Executive Chef Mr. Michael Romano, and my friend Charlotte. )
Our collective impression was that the Tokyo Midtown looked like built after learning lessons from other projects stated above. I mean, the Roppongi Hills seems to be built in an intentionally complicated way, sort of...and Maru Building is ok, but not really interesting...the worst is the Omotesando Hills....I think its land was just too narrow for a structure like the Guggenheim Museum.
The Tokyo Midtown looked like a fabulous place to walk around, eat and shop...even Seven Eleven was cool (see picture)...All I need is a gorgeous guy to hang out with.....:<<
