Vampire Café, Tokyo
The vampire is back in a big way, first
dominating literature and film and now
cuisine, too. The Vampire Café in Tokyo
is dark, mysterious and furnished with
an extortionate amount of red velvet.
When you’re not busy marvelling at the
dark coffins dripped with candle wax,
you could be enjoying the lack of garlic
dishes on the menu and sipping from
suspiciously red cocktails.
Yellow Treehouse Restaurant,
Auckland, New Zealand
Culinary Concept: Treehouse treats.
Using resources from inside the Yellow
Pages, Pacific Environments architects
constructed this pod-shaped eatery
accessed by an 180-foot “treetop”
walkway. There, 18 diners savored a
multicourse menu that included pan-
fried lamb loins with baby beetroot and
mandarin salad with caramelized garlic.
(Unfortunately, the restaurant was just a
temporary project and has since closed.)
Mars 2112, Times Square, New
York City
Culinary Concept: Earthling eats. NASA
predicted by 2112 we’d be making com-
mercial flights to Mars. Why wait for the
airfare wars when you can pay a visit
right in New York’s Times Square? Upon
arrival, friendly Martians guide hungry
earthlings into the hot, dry, red planet,
where they can dine on the Martian
Seafood Platter — exotic ocean shell-
fish, squid, shrimp, mussels with a spicy
seafood sauce.
