Fans of fast-food joints with hidden drinkeries behind them have another place to flaunt their coolness: Rhong-Tiam on Orchard. Wait, what?? Yep, according to Bowery Boogie, the former dining room of Bia Garden will open Friday as a “VIP” back room, “somewhere between an exclusive nightspot and PDT.” There’s even a pay phone that unlocks the door to this nightlife sensation if you key in the six-digit password for entry. How original! We knew the spicy pork over there was hot, but this takes things to a whole new level. [Bowery Boogie]
