Hipster Ping Pong? Yes, table tennis will have its day. SPiN New York is certainly the first high end table tennis social club that we've ever discovered. This is not your father's ping pong. This is 13,000 square feet of pro Olympic quality cushioned flooring and 13 state-of-the-art JOOLA tables, with world-class coaching and a stadium-like center court. Not to mention, the club also boasts a pro shop, lounge, cocktail bar and D.J. booth, complete with house parties and a celeb clientele (actress Susan Sarandon is an investor). Pictured is The Fred Perry Room, in honor of celebrated tennis player, Fred Perry, who gained fame early in his career playing table tennis. The stunning room is reserved for private events, anchored by a polished stainless steel table and glass net, designed by contemporary artist Rirkrit Tiravanija. Who knew table tennis could be so hip? Unfortunately, a trip to the treadmill now seems a little boring.
