Hate the Hamptons? Sick of hearing about everything that went on out east? Well, there were more than a couple friends of ours that have chosen to stick it out in the city this summer--not so ironically, most of them happen to be in NYC Media. The lovely Soraya Darabi hosted a grand old picnic in Sheep's meadow yesterday, and it almost had us wishing we were back in the city...almost. More photos below... More»
