Local Notables Evaluate Eden’s New “Green Room”

Andre Wells and Chad Booker

After an extensive renovation, Eden opened its new first floor “Green Room” this week, inviting local notables to experience a completely tech-orated lounge, complete with digitally generated waterfalls, woods and a virtual koi pond.

Tempted by the invitation of an open bar soiree, what really brought in the crowd was their curiosity of the venue’s au naturale new appearance. 


Mayor Vincent Gray’s son, Carlos Gray, seemed content with the indoor outdoor theme, while Republic National Distributing Company’s David Cronin was admittedly  “surprised at how they pulled it off.”  Redskins’ dentist Alex Naini “loved the whole thing,” especially seeing the virtual koi scatter as she set her drink on the bar.  And distinguished event organizer Andre Wells, perhaps the harshest critic at the VIP unveiling, gave the venue a noble nod, describing the creative decor as “cute” — and lingering for a few extra cocktails.
