November is Michael Sutton month
Here’s the thing I love about Michael Sutton:
(There are more hot pics from where that came from.)
But the emmy-nominated-actor-turned-model-turned-promoter-and-restaurateur
is also quite the savvy businessman and he’s endeavored to make November 2007 all
about him. He already owns the after-hours membership club Xenii, which costs a butt load of money to join, as well as trendy
spots the Lodge and Charcoal. Next month, he’ll also add
two more A-list venues to his roster: Jane’s
House and Goa,
both scheduled to open the second week of November.
Jane’s House, which is located in the spot that used to house Sutton’s southern-style restaurant Memphis on Hollywood Boulevard, has been retooled to have a French theme, much like Balthazar and Pastis in NYC. The concept: Come for the food, stay for the lounge. The food: French bistro—but it’ll come on small plates as to not scare away the pro-ana bar hoppers. The décor: He says the courtyard patio is decked out to look like a living room and that there’s a big old arbor tree at the entrance to create intimacy. The preview: Expect a soft opening on Halloween, hosted by Brett Ratner’s assistant Hopi Dobuler. [UPDATE: Jane's House will now open in January 2008.]
Then, over at Goa at 1615 Cahuenga, he’s unveiling an Indian-themed dance club that serves sushi and plays Euro house. That’s the other thing I love about Michael Sutton: he’s a lover of many cultures. Did I mention I was French and Jewish? —Alexandra Le Tellier
