Prime Real Estate

$6000 for a floor-through four bedroom apartment in Midtown East featuring a built-in-bar, recessed lighting, massive living room and two bathrooms with private access to the roof and no neighbors--since the floor is above commercial space and features skylights in multiple rooms. The aparment made me cream and dream! (Tracey--please pick up on the reference to the adorable gelateria in Prague).

This was the venue of the party I attended saturday night hosted by a PIKE brother turned Lehman Brother. The place was packed. The music was loud. The drinks were strong. The girls were young. The boys were finance types with CT style and Westchester attitude. There was porn projected on a wall in the "big bedroom".
The shindig was a 17-year-old's wet dream.

I had fun. Fun in the way a frat party is fun. Gary, his friend Shaun, Tommy, his big sis, and I clustered in a corner watching bad dancers shake-a-leg. The weather was atrocious. Our primary goal in attending this event was the promise of a projector on a roof with refreshments to boot. The purpose was lost due to inclement weather conditions. TSK.

The bar was a mess when we arrived and no one was manning it. Thankfully, an Indian boy who used to live there ushered me behind it and showed me where the good liquor lived...a few shots of the top shelf later, I was enjoying myself a whole lot more and so was my crew.
