Let’s face it: New Yorkers want the best of everything. Even our Type B’s are Type A. (Our Type As? More like Type AAAs.) Sure, it might be a little pretentious, a little elitist - but you didn’t come to NYC to *settle*, did you? Check out what’s in store this week: from an Ivy League mixer, to luxurious whiskey tasting, to a hotel rooftop bash with Brazilian cocktail open bar, it’s not about what you need, per se…it’s about what you want.
8/2 Inter-Ivy Summer Social, PH-D Rooftop
It doesn’t get much more chi-chi than this: Ivy League mixer at the top of the Dream Downtown. Snag a smart, upscale beau while enjoying free cocktails from 6pm until 7pm. Win-win.
8/2 - 8/7 Bandier Warehouse Sale
Speaking of the type A set, their favored workout gear brand Bandier is having a warehouse sale. So get those cut-out / mesh-inserted compression leggings that say, my workout clothes don’t need to be comfortable as long as they’re fierce. And a word of advice: strappier, the better.
8/4 Yaguara Cachaca 3 Hour Open Bar Party At the Jane Hotel Rooftop
*The* party of the week is happening at the derelict-chic Jane Hotel’s secretive rooftop with 3 hours of unlimited cachaca cocktails, rum, beer, endless food, and sunset views. It sounds too good to be true, and yet it isn’t. So dress to impress and go rub shoulders with the beautiful people.
8/6 Whisky Tasting: Japanese v. Irish
Ah, single malt whiskey, the preferred spirit of the upper classes. In this sophisticated tasting class, you’ll get to savor some of the best examples of Japanese whisky and Irish whiskey, and learn how to truly appreciate the different notes in each. How fabulous.
8/6 Hubble Cantata: Virtual Reality Concert
Some highbrow art at some very lowbrow prices (ie free). Head to the Prospect Park bandshell for a magnificent spectacle combining virtual reality projections of Hubble telescope images, live choral and instrumental music under the stars.
