Russians LaVue
This past Thursday was blustery and cold but the warm and
cozy atmosphere at the newly opened LaVue nightclub and restaurant was a
comfortable setting for the Russian Insider networking mixer.
Michael and Marina Levitis, the hosts of Russian Insider, a
Facebook based group, have successfully expanded to over six thousand members
in a matter of two months. They lead the group of Russian speaking New Yorkers
and their friends through social trends and political events with their commentary
online. They were able to win popularity with the masses by engaging them in
various entertaining and controversial topics as well as fun contests. All in
all, the entire group is evolving into cultural, social and business alliances
for those interested in the life of Russian community. The laid back style of
the mixers draws a crowd of intellectuals and professionals eager to interact
and spend a pleasant evening together. The venues are carefully chosen based on
their location and the group’s interest.
LaVue is the new venture of Denis Gromov, an already
successful owner-restaurateur of Orange Grill in Brooklyn. His new club is
cleverly named, when pronounced sounds like Love You and definitely evokes a
soft feeling of romantic intimacy. Its’ interior is tastefully and creatively
designed using sexy curves and contrasting textures to accentuate the flow of
the space. The soft lavender lighting is mysterious and soothing at the same
time. It seemed to me that LaVue echoed the ambiance of Claude Monet, the
fictional upscale restaurant featured in the Russian super hit miniseries,
“Kukhnya” (Kitchen). Even the homeless guy in the alley resembled one of the
characters in the movie.
LaVue pleased all the guests with a delicious variety of
appetizers and beverages. The music and lightshow provided energy and entertainment
for all the party animals. If you are looking for an elegant spacious venue to
delight and entertain, LaVue is the place. For those of you looking for new
friendly faces and interesting conversation, look for Russian Insider on
Facebook and join the buzz.
