The Met Gala

If there’s a life essential that’s harder to obtain than an acceptance into private school, it’s the near-impossible invite to The Met Gala. After all, at some point your kid is going to go to some college or other — but you never may get the nod from Anna. In honor of fashion’s equivalent of the Super Bowl, this is where the celebs will be running around NYC this season.

The Hangout: The Mark Hotel

The Celebrities: Hailey Bieber, Nicole Kidman, Gisele Bundchen and Selena Gomez.

Past the spectacle of black cars and flashing lights that buzz, you’ll find the front doors of The Mark. The interior invites the humming couture of the nights prelude. Whether at The Mark Bar or The Restaurant by Jean-Georges, it is the spot where celebrities, designers, stylists and glam teams create and prepare.

The Hangout: Zero Bond

The Celebrities: Kaia Gerber, Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid, Nick Jonas and Heidi Klum.

Zero Bond behaves as an exhale to the eyes of New York. The discreet door welcomes well-known names into the tightly curated room, filled with fireplaces. No photography and no chaos can be seen from the stretched out couches, which are built for conversations.

The Hangout: The Twenty Two

The Celebrities: Kendall Jenner, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong’o, Zadie Smith.

The Twenty Two is where fashion becomes more intimate and drinks are elevated. Editors, models and actors come to relax and let their hair down after an evening of celebration at this boutique hotel. At The Twenty Two, you’ll find yourself in the afterglow of the Met Gala’s culture, with dark wood and marble surfaces that feel completely cinematic.

The Hangout: The Carlyle, A Rosewood Hotel

The Celebrities: George Clooney, Anne Hathaway, Miley Cyrus and Bad Bunny.

Stepping into The Carlyle is like stepping into a different world from New York. In Bemelmans Bar, the murals wrap the space in a whimsical elegance. Whispering old-world, you’ll find yourself in the heart of the classic New York that is rumored to have been. And at The Carlyle, it’s still thriving.

The Hangout: Casa Cipriani New York

The Celebrities: Leonardo DiCaprio, Gigi Hadid, Taylor Swift and Naomi Campbell.

At Casa Cipriani, there is a true sense of intention. Security moves with subtle ease. Performances come to an end, making room for an intimate setting, and creating a casual old money environment through soaring ceilings and chandeliers that cast a golden glow.
