Fittingly, the house celebrated the opening with hordes of its closest friends, including Chase Sui Wonders, Lil Nas X, and Molly Gordon. On the menu? Fragrances, vending machines, and a life-size Chance bottle photo-op. The diner is free and open to the public from September 8 through September 10 from 11 A.M. to 7 P.M. Walk-ins are welcome!
