Before you come

Good to know

About 29 min on foot is long. If you can stay on the train or change to a closer stop, do it, and if it's raining, take a cab.

When you get here, look for the HK Hall building. We're on the roof. It's a party with a live DJ every night we're open, so it's loud. We're closed on Mondays.
