Central, as in 'Central Parc'...get it?
You know Parc, the Hollywood spot with a tree in the dining room? Owners Shereen Arazm and Pantera Sarah have hooked up again to open Central just around the corner at 1710 N. Las Palmas Boulevard. Like Parc, the lounge will take an avant-garde approach to "nature," but instead of an indoor tree, Central will be decorated with lit branches and have a glass “tree house” for the DJ booth. The lounge opens this Saturday, December 8 and I’d suggest getting there right at 9 p.m. Sarah can be a tough at the door, but if you tell her you’re voting for Barack Obama, you'll have an easier time. But please people: mean it.
Parc life: You'll notice the sleek wooden tables and the Swarovski crystal globes hanging from indoor tree at Parc. I can't wait to see what Central has in store.
