Spin Chicago
Spin Chicago
Chicago
In 2007, best friends Jonathan Bricklin and Franck Raharinosy had a crazy idea—to practice ping pong night and day and get so good that they could make the USA Olympic Team. So, they got busy doing what any future Olympians would do—throwing a weekly ping pong party! Their parties drew in an eccentric range of artists and actors, musicians and bankers, brokers and broadcasters, and (of course) professional ping pong players and everyone in between. The diversity of the crowd fueled the fun and vibrant energy that remains the essence of SPIN today. Bricklin and Raharinosy joined forces with retired investment banker and former tennis pro, Andrew Gordon, to launch SPIN’s flagship location on Park Avenue in New York City in the summer of 2009. From the moment we opened our doors, we have seen the world-wide growth of an iconic ping pong culture, lifestyle, and movement, which has redefined the game to know no boundaries. It’s all about having fun, not taking life too seriously, making human connections and embracing the contradictions. At SPIN, we come together to socialize and celebrate play. At our core is the drive to connect through ping pong—a game that transcends age, gender, ethnicity, and all physical boundaries. We are the original ping pong social club, your offline social network, a place to call home. We welcome diversity and embrace the unconventional. With venues in New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Toronto, Philadelphia, Seattle, Washington DC and Boston we encourage you to participate. Do it together and never alone. #UnitedbyPingPong

Additional details

Situated in the historic New York Life Insurance Building originally built in 1894, Kimpton Gray Hotel takes its name from the Georgia Gray marble that’s lent the structure a sense of sophistication for well over a century. The ornate architecture on the granite exterior and in the lobby — with Art Deco light fixtures — is juxtaposed against contemporary-styled rooms with crisp furnishings. Dining options include: La Bella on floor one which serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. Vol. 39 on floor two is an intimate lounge with gilded caviar carts, cocktail classics and an extensive wine list. Boleo on floor fifteen is a top-of-hotel lounge with city sky views and a retractable roof for year-around enjoyment. Latin-influenced cocktails, enticing food, vibrant music and sleek-yet-lush design evokes a dynamic energy of South America. Event spaces are nothing short of inspiring at The Gray. Set on the 2nd, 14th and 15th floors, the rooms boast natural light from the original, refurbished large picture windows. Offers unique spaces which can be booked for events such as Robie Room with pool table. Boleo, our top-of-hotel lounge with retractable roof also available for semi or fully private events through all seasons.
