We love them, we hate them, and a side of us really wants to be them. We’re talking about socialites of course, a breed of humanity that seems to uniquely flourish in NYC and its surrounds. But even if you’re not a 24-year-old chairwoman of a foundation (established by grandpa, of course) or dating some rich Euro eff boy (related to Grace Kelly, natch), you too can enjoy a similarly jet set lifestyle. This week we take you to the inner sanctum of Saks private shopping with Chanel; party with Arden Wohl, daughter of Larry; a spa day in Tribeca; and a charity gala with Moet & Chandon. If that doesn’t make you feel rich, what will?
5/2 LastFirst x Chanel Beauty Evening
LastFirst is a boutique dating agency bringing you this night of Chanel makeovers and canapes. But we think it’s worth attending just to peek at Fifth Avenue Club, the legendary and slightly mystical private shopping center where you have to be *interviewed by the personal shopper* before she accepts you as a client.
$89 For A Luxe 3 Course Dinner For Two With Wine
If there’s one thing all socialites can agree on, it’s St. Tropez. Soak up the glamorous vibes and the fabulous meal at this Mediterranean inspired eatery at the Hotel on Rivington.

5/4 Midnight in Paris: 4 Hr Premium Open Bar Gala
