One evening, two years ago, entertainment lawyer Josh Saltman started wondering why karaoke is only available in “blank K-Town boxes” and sketchy dives. Why not offer this kind of fun in a more upscale environment? Anyway, from that thinkage Vodvil was born and here we are a couple of years later with the venue set to open in November. Saltman is working with a team that includes architect Ralph Gentile (whose boutique architectural firm is responsible for Red O), Cal Iseminger, a Desperate Housewives extra turned celebrity game-night organizer, and chefs Cari Levin and Sharon Funt, both graduates of the CIA who have spent time at Patina Group establishments.
