Need some investment advice? Why not hook up with Sandy Weill, the former CEO of Citibank, by stopping by the Waverly Inn in New York City. I recognized his face, but couldn’t place his name at the time. I woke up the next morning realizing it was indeed Sanford Weill.

Waverly Inn in New York City is quickly becoming the Studio 54 of its time. Anyone who is anyone seems to make an appearance at the restaurant, especially if they are a celebrity with a movie coming out or want to rejuvenate their career. Broadway actress Bernadette Peters showed up the other night [...]

Fashion designer Carolina Herrera put in an appearance at Waverly Inn in New York looking glamorous and casual. There’s a certain set of manners that those of a certain generation possess that seems to have been lost on the younger generations. It has to do with a sense of graciousness and a dose [...]

The fun of New York City is walking an unfamiliar neighborhood and discovering oddities you never knew existed. I read about a graphic artist named Adrian Tomine signing his new book Shortcomings at Giant Robot New York so I caught the subway to the East Village to meet him. The place was packed. [...]

Former Vice President Al Gore showed up with Tipper Gore at the 35th International Emmy Awards at the New York Hilton wearing a band-aid on his chin. No word on why yet? Did he have a pre-cancerous growth removed from his chin? Did he cut his chin shaving? Hopefully Contessa Brewer at MSNBC [...]

Ivana Trump lent her support to Denise Rich for the 10th Angel Ball to benefit The G & P Foundation for Cancer Research held at The Marriott Marquee on October 29, 2007. I caught her as she was leaving the hotel with her young boyfriend, Rossano Rubicondi. More of him later…

Writer Salmon Rushdie turned up at the Whitney Museum of American Art the other night with this woman. Not sure of her name. He recently separated from his wife, Padma Lakshmi. Always fun to catch two people in conversation.

Aby Rosen is a real estate developer. He’s married to Dr. Samantha Boardman. They both showed up at the 2007 Whitney Gala and Studio Party Shades of Gray Honoring Chuck Close Sponsored by Akris. Just one example of how to live well and dress like you got a couple million bucks in the [...]

Take a walk around Beverly Hills and you are bound to encounter a plastic surgery patient about every five feet. In New York, though, its presence is a little more off the radar. This woman was hanging around outside a wedding at St. Patrick’s Cathedral on Fifth Avenue one Saturday. Her only purpose [...]

Patricia Hearst was in New York for her daughter’s wedding at the Pierre Hotel on Saturday night. Gillian Hearst-Shaw married Christian Simonds; she works at Towne & Country magazine, he works as a corporate lawyer. I snapped her as she entered the Pierre for the evening’s activities.

I spotted this woman on Fifth Avenue in New York City. She has the tiniest frail legs. She was jewelry shopping at Gilan, a high end jeweler known for its Turkish designs. I’m not too sure about the makeup on her. It looks a little garish, but bonus points to her for venturing [...]
