Just 48 hours away from its re-opening, rap mogul Jay-Z's 40/40 Club
renovation details have begun circulating online revealing the scoop
on what to expect once the doors re-open for business.
According to reports, the New York City nightclub will feature
expanded rooms and a new food menu.
What's new? Custom-illuminated amber resin bar tops, illuminated
bottle-display towers, leather wall upholstery, plush lounge
banquettes and giant television screens, as well as a second floor
catwalk so guests can ogle each other. The club's four VIP rooms also
got a make-over, with custom chandeliers, oak paneling with silver
leaf molding, oak-wood floors, custom billiard tables and bespoke
lounge seating; an extra VIP room was also added. Jay-Z's private room
is the biggest of the five VIP rooms by far at 950 square feet
compared with the other rooms, that are a paltry 250 square feet each.
"In Jay-Z's room you can be in your own club, with 100 guests," said a
spokeswoman. Guests can order from a new menu by Jay-Z's personal
chef, Mike Shand, who is amping up the sports-bar menu and taking
typical sports food like wings and tacos "to the next level." (New

There were initial plans to re-open the hot spot late last year.
The original reopening was scheduled for November, but the Brooklyn
born rapper and expectant father wanted to make sure everything is
perfect before he re-opens the doors. The overall vision is to capture
the "energy, grandeur, and opulence of NYC nightlife." (Haute Living)
As of now, the invite-only guest list features Big Apple sports stars
from the New York Yankees and New York Giants.
Jay-Z will get a break from Daddy Duty on Jan. 18. The music mogul -
who welcomed daughter Blue Ivy Carter with wife Beyonce over the
weekend - is scheduled to attend the grand re-opening of his 40/40
Club next week, amNewYork has confirmed. Also on the guest list for
the invite-only soiree: Alex Rodriguez, C.C. Sabathia and the Giants'
Victor Cruz. The Flatiron-area club underwent massive renovations,
reportedly in the neighborhood of $10 million, since closing last
year. (AM NY)
Young Hov's popular franchise is expected to begin popping up in
select airports.
