Calendar

Favorite social event of the year: The New Yorkers for Children benefit. It's a great cause with great entertainment, and the kids make me cry every time.
Best NY party ever attended (and why): Guggenheim Young Collector's Ball 2005, sponsored by Dior…because I helped produce the event and got to be in the Guggenheim overnight! Seeing dawn break over Central Park from within the Lloyd Wright building I adore was magical.
What sets Manhattan nightlife apart: There's no city like New York—the skyline, the energy, the people and the endless options for dining, drinking and entertainment. It's still one of the few places where you decide at the last minute to do something fabulous and just go! Jazz, opera, nightclubs, theatre—unlike London, for example, it's really 24/7.
