Saturday in the Hamptons, the hedgerows are trimmed, the hydrangeas are bushy, and the sun is at peak performance. Outside Jack’s Stir Brew Coffee in Amagansett, a group of men and women in luxury sportswear are gathered, and the air fills with the soothing sound of high-end gossip. Chappaqua … We stayed there … His first […]
Chloe Wise: The Carb Artist of Her Generation
Chloe Wise is so hot right now. Lit-er-al-ly, she would say, in that accent that has somehow transcended its Southern California roots to become the voice of an entire socioeconomic class. “I want to, like, dip myself into a pool of water,” she said, lifting her glossy dark hair off her neck. It was a blazing-hot Saturday […]
Long on Trump
The bar at the front of the Hunt and Fish Club, the upscale steak-and-martinis joint just off Times Square, has floor-to-ceiling plateglass windows, presumably not so that its customers can have a panoramic view of 44th Street but so that people outside can see what a great time the people inside are having. The restaurant, […]
Your Hate Only Makes Amanda Chantal Bacon Stronger
Amanda Chantal Bacon arrives at Blue Bottle Coffee, rosy-cheeked and windswept. “I had meetings this morning, so I got robbed of my power and spirit,” she apologizes, placing her almond-milk latte on the counter and rummaging through her oversize handbag. I’m opening my mouth to begin commiserating about the soul-sucking nature of meetings when she […]
It’s Time You Learned Tove Lo’s Name
One night this summer, Tove Lo was in a bar in Brooklyn, getting hit on by a guy. What’s your name, he asked, the singer recalls afterward. Tove, she said. What do you do? I’m a singer. Then she saw it, the briefest flicker of recognition. She watched his alcohol-infused synapses slowly make the connections. […]
Getting Arrested Was the Best Thing To Ever Happen to Jeremy Meeks
Jim Jordan curls his bare toes around the edge of his pool, which looks out over the rolling hills and canyons of Calabasas, California. Earlier, when he’d gotten to the point in his life story where he said “I had everything that the world tells you that you need to be happy, but I […]
Elizabeth Gilbert’s Magical Thinking
It was the middle of the night, and Elizabeth Gilbert was curled up in a ball of grief, confusion, and despair. “I found myself in a heap on the couch, around a pillow, huddled and shaking,” the author tells the crowd that has come to see her at Brooklyn’s BRIC House arts center on a […]
A Definitive History of Socialite Rank
On the list of significant dates in New York City history, April 24, 2006, does not rank high. But as Fabiola Beracasa’s grandmother used to say, “When you are in the middle of the soup you can’t see the edge of the bowl,” and at the time New York was firmly in the middle of […]
With “Master of None,” Aziz Ansari Has Created a True American Original
Aziz Ansari calls 15 minutes before our scheduled interview. “Hey, it’s Aziz,” he says cheerily, as though he’s a friend and not the celebrated comedian, actor and writer who created a new American original in the form of Dev Shah, the character he plays in his groundbreaking Netflix show, “Master of None.” Aziz—since we’re on […]
Shopping at the Grove With Ryan Lochte, Who Just Got His First Credit Card
When Ryan Lochte suggests we meet by the fountain at the Grove, the outdoor mall in Los Angeles, it’s understandable, in a Splash kind of way. The man has spent most of his 32 years in the water — of course he’d want to keep it near at all times. By the time he arrives, […]
