a strange, glass-walled and tube-shaped spaceship

Times review of Bar Basque

"There is little to enjoy about the actual restaurant, though. Bar Basque is a strange, glass-walled and tube-shaped spaceship on the second floor of the new Eventi Hotel in Chelsea, with a view of a jumbo television screen across the alley park behind it. Red and black and clattery, with a substantial, low-seating lounge area that vibrates with dinkadinkadinka club music and the repressed desire of hotel guests traveling with hard-body work associates, it could appear in a sequel to Bret Easton Ellis's “American Psycho.”"

to be fair, sifton is totally right. meh. on the upside, the hostess knew who we were. cuz we were the only large party.
