Pink Elephant Goes Blimey


The hits just keep on coming. A Little Birdy just hit us on the wire with some big news, saying "David Cabo and Shawn Kolodny are in London as we speak looking at spaces for the Pink Elephant." That's real time information folks. With Bungalow 8 already open and Cain looking to close their deal, it makes sense that the Pink Elephant crew would soon follow. Also, we have seen a clear demarcation in the New York Club world between the global players and the regional ones, with players such as Noah and Jason and the Stereo crew (who have recently been seen in Vegas looking at deals), keeping their eyes on Las Vegas megaclubs and the tourists who flock to them, while the Cain and Elephant team cater to the global scene, of which London is the capital. And Ms. Sacco? With projects in Vegas, London and her mega deal with Morgans, she is obviously the big bird of the nest.

Yep, dead on... I used to work for a hotelier/restauranteur here in NYC, and he was soooo chuffed that he was only able to break out into one (albeit major) city.

The nightlife/restaurant/lounge game is now all about "how do I get my brand to the absolute next level... in another global city?!?!"

That said, I keep hearing about a certain someone trying to make big, big moves in the Latin American and Russian markets by opening up branches of his chic and haute properties.....
