This Friday night, an exhibition by the top 10 table tennis players in the country marks the inaugural evening of full bar service at the 9,000sqft subterranean pong-ri-la, where the track-lit main room rocks Olympic-grade cushioned playing surfaces for 15 stylish tables, fold-out bleacher seating, and a panoramic window looking out onto beautiful...subway tracks; food'll follow on Sept 8th, from gourmet flavored popcorn, to makizushi (e.g., chopped pork/cucumber/scallions w/ spicy chili aioli), to sandwiches like The Napa (duck confit/rosemary fig jam/baby spinach on ciabatta) and the chorizo/hard cider/apples El Torro, whose name suckers you into thinking it's made of beef, but that's just bull.
