It’s Emily “The Eldridge” Brill Day! Yes that’s right, she posted. Finally. Trying her hand at “stream of consciousness” writing; Emily, in a post titled 212 Recession Reflections finds herself pondering life’s little mysteries surrounding the CHANGE we are going through, err at least some of us are going through. Yes, she leaves us all with questions, (um just what is a “Delivery!” status on Facebook, and what exactly is the “Right kind of tough” mean to her?); but getting past that, we are just happy that she’s posting at all so that we can read a whole new set of comments, including one left by her that highlights her envy of Ivanka Trump:
“Teehee, I know stuff that you don’t know, I know stuff that you don’t know…here’s another example. Last week at this party for Ivanka’s boutique on Madison in the 60s (mostly industry attended–it was early and small-scale), some publicist (HL?) admitted that plans to open other locations were on hold. They’re not selling anything. I’ve never walked by and seen anyone except tourists inside. But maybe the new climate will push “team ivanka” (that’s what was inscribed on the gift cards of the gift bags which contained cookies) to change the business model.I’ve never set foot in that store. Most of the people I know haven’t. “Overpriced and tacky” is the consensus (and it’s why people pick up the pace as they walk by it) from the UES. Or at least it’s what people whisper but, of course, will not say out loud. She’d probably be better off online and/or joining up with a chain, but she wants to brand herself on Madison Avenue. In the 60s. And I guess I don’t begrudge her for that. But it’s not working…She’s not Asprey. And in case anyone hasn’t noticed, Asprey’s got problems of its own.E”

To celebrate the Hudson’s 400th anniversary New York City will putting on a fireworks display like never before. To join in the festivities the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Times Square will be offering rooms with perfect views and throwing a rooftop party for the first 100 guests to book rooms. These rooms and the party will be offered at special rates listed below.
Also, if there are people that would only like to attend the rooftop party, there is a special offer for that as well.
Come celebrate independence on the roof of the Rivington!
After a week hiatus we're back on the roof and back to the jacuzzis. The weather is supposed to be nice, so if you've been waiting for an appropriate time to come get loose in a rad New York City penthouse, Thursday is absolutely that time.
Benjamin "B Roc" Ruttner of HeavyRoc Music and Jonathan Price Totaro of Reason NY will be deejaying, bottles in the club, babes, etc etc etc.
We're expecting a lot of people so, if you can, please rsvp to info@lolanewyork.com or try and come early
After celebrating our country all day, spend all night honoring our king...of pop, that is. The Suzie Wong lounge will be spinning Michael Jackson music starting after the fireworks and lasting until the wee hours of dawn.
In late 2007, five young professionals, long connected by both friendship and family, decided to pool and tap into their own altruistic nature while encouraging others to do so. Their forum - the party. Calling themselves ‘fun-raisers’ their track record bears evidence
Thank God we have Emily to steer us through these tough economic times with her ultimate outsider’s perspective.
