What's old is new again... Ping Pong



Within the brief spin of a few hours, I ran across 3 separate articles that mentioned something about Ping Pong. I thought that was odd. For me, Ping Pong harkens back to the 1970's basement or Nixon's Ping Pong detente.

Evidently, table tennis is all the rage among the smart set in NYC. Susan Sarandon, who has been the subject of the gossip rags for the past few days, is an investor in in a Ping Pong club in NYC called Spin. From what I can gather, Spin is like a more affordable, less snobby SOHO house that focuses on the classic table game. Spin's website describes its offering as " strikingly original artistic, athletic and social movement."
