Never Mind the Nannies, Drivers are the New Dads (opens the original)
Read excerpt
(Editor’s note: This article was originally published on May 28, 2013.) Living on the Upper East Side, one gets accustomed to seeing ridiculous things, from $300 plates of truffle pasta to couture dog collars. But this one was a first. The other evening, I was walking off the leaden canapés after another deadly fund-raiser in someone’s “aerie.” As I was passing a venerable Park Avenue residential building, a black SUV came to a halt.

New Money, Old Crest: Inside the Manufactured Aristocracy of the Modern Wedding (opens the original)
Read excerpt

It was a difficult winter for tous New York: even the 1-percenters who spend fewer than the allotted 183 days in the city.
