When Trend Hunters go out to dine, they have to go to the coolest place possible. After writing about O.Noir a few months prior, we decided that Trend Hunter should have an eye-opening Fun Day at the restaurant.
Being no ordinary restaurant, O.Noir bathed its diners and the Trend Hunter crew in complete darkness where they were waited on by legally blind servers.
We got through the night with only one broken glass accompanied by many laughs and three serenades by Wesley (one of our programming co-ops with the voice of an angel).
Life is good when you’re a Trend Hunter.
