57 Closing Party

And lo, another Roppongi landmark falls. Lounge-restaurant 57 may never quite have lived up to its New York-sized aspirations, but it was a welcome presence on the expat scene, so it's a shame to hear that it will be closing after five years in the business. The first night of the sayonara party boasts drinks specials across the board and à la carte dining, while they'll be opening for a final brunch session from 10am on Saturday (reservations essential), then returning in the evening to drink the place dry. Check the Facebook event page below for more details; VIP bookings can be made at info@fiftyseven.co.jp. Oh, and if you're looking to kit out your kitchen, they'll be selling off all their plates, glasses and what-have-you on Sunday.
