After the shenanigans of Wednesday night, Thursday night in NYC was a much more sober affair...literally. (The Silver Hill Gala raised money to help treat substance abuse.) There were still a few parties worth noting, however! The Yankees came out to play, and Aasif Mandvi premiered his new movie, "Today's Special."-
