On the Nalu Diner website 'Oliver' writes that he and James Alefantis 'moved to eastern Berlin in the early 2000’s.' So it looks to me like Alefantis moved back to the U.S. to open Comet. Anyway, Oliver is Oliver Miller - owner of Dr. Pong!

'Oliver Miller the man behind the legendary Dr Pong on Eberswalder Str.'

This is good! Solid link, we can essentially say now that Alefantis co-owned a restaurant with the guy running Dr.Pong which was FULL of weirdness, and they share a love of "ping pong"...ok

Exactly. But a question now is the nature of the relationship between Alefantis and Miller - were they partners when they went to Berlin together in the early 2000s? What can we find out about Miller's background?
