A fashionable philanthropist. A chess club-alum who thrived on Chicago’s South Side. A rapper who quotes Nietzsche. If you’re wondering what these three people have in common, think again: they’re all Lupe Fiasco

SEXY BRUNCH: KITTICHAI
60 THOMPSON HOTEL
The sexy-romantic atmosphere here is the ultimate downtown scene. The dining room is impeccably decorated with a glistening pool with floating candles as the centerpiece with acccents of luminous bottled orchids. This is Asian-inspired tranquillity at its best.The professional, efficient and friendly waiters will take excellent care of you. Cocktails are just amazingand it’s no surprise that the food is delicious as well. You’ll want to make repeat visits so that you can try everything on the menu.
LUXURY BRUNCH: JEAN-GEORGES
PERRY ST.
The fumed oak tables, amuse-l’oeil patterned carpeting, comforting white leather banquettes, graciously cantilevered lamps and black resin bar with matching leather stools are artfully poised within the U-shaped space, all custom-conceived by Thomas Juul-Hansen, an erstwhile associate of the Pritzger Prize-winning architect Richard Meier, who designed the glass tower above the restaurant. A sheer mesh over the floor-to-ceiling windows softens incoming sunlight without in the least impeding views of the shimmering Hudson River.
CHAMPAGNE BRUNCH: PARADOU
Not to be outdone by neighboring Nero d’Avola, Paradou has more recently introduced its own version of a boozy brunch free-for-all: A $29 unlimited Champagne cocktail brunch, which includes your choice of one entrée.
" The Matt Isaacs crew took over the flailing 105 space, just off the lobby, and launched it in November 2009. They have been successful." The space will be transformed into a tequila bar.
Mathew Isaacs and his crew are leaving CV, the club at the Rivington Hotel and Steve Lewis would like to use the opportunity to tear the place apart with a sharp, but completely honest lashing:
Friends of the High Line won support Tuesday night for its plan to launch beer and wine service this summer. Hurrah! But the Community Board, being the Community Board and therefore required to act like your cranky grandpa woken up from his nap, has some concerns. Booze will be served above the Chelsea Market and at the northern end of a second section of the park that's due to open in late spring and serves 350 people--otherwise known as far too many. "I think it's a great amenity, but it's going to get away from you," said committee co-chair Lisa Daglian, raising the specter of a beer garden-like atmosphere emerging. Pretzels and wenches? Nope. Founder Joshua David and Director of Food Melina Shannon-DiPietro talked about forging a family-friendly environment with art installations, films and activities including roller-skating and salsa classes. They are also working with the neighborhood in other ways pretty much ensuring you some enjoyable summer days spent sipping in the city's elevated park.
Eataly is opening a rooftop brewery, The Standard's beer garden is perpetually packed, the Bohemian National Hall is set to open and the South Street Seaports Water Taxi Beach is soon to become a beer hall. New Yorkers can't get enough, but why? Crain's thinks it the recession...or craft beers. "Some New Yorkers may be drawn to suds over other drinks these days because of the recession. A pint costs about $7, compared with $10 or more for a glass of wine, or $12 and up for specialty cocktails. Beer experts say the bigger reason for the growing popularity of the beverage, along with that of the European-style gardens that serve it, is the rise of craft beers. Last year, the nation's craft brewers—defined as small breweries that are independently owned—sold 12% more beer to bars and restaurants."
Between Lavo, the Lamb's Club, and now Paramount Bar, midtown is actually hot. The latest offers up classic cocktails on 46th Street and features crystal chandeliers, velvet, and female empowerment in the form of a series of all-women Djs.
Sean Hughes, dude who would like you to think he is a model, bought the Eldridge last month from Matt Levine for some $300k. He plans to open it next month with the new name, EastBridge. The space has been gutted and they have added new furnishings with the "hope to create a more 'relaxed' neighborhood atmosphere that isn’t obnoxiously exclusive. Drinks will be modestly priced, but there won’t be a tap; nor any velvet ropes."
This is the first major exhibition of Storrs’ sculpture in over 25 years and focuses on his most innovative phase, the elegant abstractions of New York skyscrapers produced during the 1920s, which anticipated the Minimalist movement that surfaced 40 years later. This exhibit presents approximately 40 works by one of the foremost sculptors to emerge in the early 20th century. Situated at the forefront of the American avant-garde, Storrs (1885–1956) reinvigorated what had become primarily an academic medium with a dynamism and radicality previously unknown in the United States. Machine-Age Modernist is the first major exhibition of Storrs’s sculpture in over 25 years and focuses on his most innovative phase, the elegant abstractions of New York skyscrapers produced during the 1920s. In its use of a lean, austere language of primary forms, Storrs’s work of this period anticipated the Minimalist movement that surfaced forty years later

From May 4-8th, downtown New York City will be the site of an ambitious
experiment. But, if you’re reading this, then you probably already know that.
What you may not know are the stories of the individual and groups dedicated to
bringing this celebration of the transformative power of creative capital to bear
on the city we know and presumably love. From artisanal food vendors and urban
agriculture enthusiasts, to performance artists, cartographers, painters, architects
and local storytellers, the Festival of Ideas brings together the small-scale
innovators and artists with the institutional forces that shape the quality of our
urban environment in an attempt to define the ideas that will drive our city in the
21st Century
No one says you have to live in the streets, in a Club, in a Lounge, in a Museum. However, you can live in your house and still leave your house!! TRUST ME!!!!
What the fuck do people do in their house all night every night - I'm not judging, I'm really just asking
There is but so much WE Channel - ESPN - HBO - etc that people can watch. I'm sure you have seen all ya DVD's 3 times each
I'm sure ill here - not everyone parties for a living Vegas some of us have fucking jobs! Ok! But What do you do?? Are you really working that hard at your job? I know people dont do shyt at work, b/c yall be the same ones on Facebook, Myspace, blogger and Twitter all damn day!!
I cant forget the infamous - "going out is soo Boring and Lame!" Really? So sitting on you couch slouching all night watching re runs of MASH is what cool people do? Thats not lame right?? Why are you 30 and under and know damn near all the episodes of MASH. We need to have a conversations about what "cool people do"
I'm not saying that its a guaranteed good time every time you go out- but its not a guaranteed good time when u stay in your house either. Especially if yall live in NYC!!! Then yall be the 1st ones to say, NYC is soo boring i want to move out of here!! Well leave, cause if all you do is stay in your crib, your not adding to or experiencing the NYC Lifestyle, Nightlife etc.
Yall be the midlife crisis motherfuckas buying motorcycles at 50+ - bitch pls you aint Benjamin Button!! Just because you were 50+ when you were in your 20's doesnt mean you are gonna be 20+ in your damn 50's --- GET THE FUCK OUTA HERE!!!!!
Also, for those people that scream "Fhuk that I have my boo @ home" shyt! Yall in a fire hazard relationship! Waay to crowded, that's not safe, ppl need space! So stay up underneath that person and you are gonna burn down that relationship. GET A LIFE!!! Please NYC needs NY'rs -- we are being ran out of the streets and the city by all these DAMN TRANSPLANTS!!! IM GOING CRAAZY!!!
This blog is directly from a Late Night Blog rant i had recently ...

Ohh, I heard ...
Jay-Z was partying at Goldbar --
Diddy did a party at Mansion --
Kanye was hanging out at 1OAK --
NY Giants are at The Plaza --
Pharrell was with shorty at Gramercy --
Simmons Sisters were chilling inside Eldridge --
Rihanna's was with her girls at Tenjune --
All of Hip Hops Hottest artists go to these places. I wont call these places racist, because this is not what it's about. I have seen these places turn away white folks almost as much as black folks. This is about our Artists choosing not to support or come to parties run by some of New Yorks Best Urban Promoters or where the demographic consist of more than 10% black people. Hip Hop started with us, we supported "the movement / music" for decades in NYC. Now all of a sudden they can not step foot into an urban party in NYC. I get that everyone is cool now, and that partying at clubs that hold 250 ppl and only let in 55 is what it is in NYC, but when you do concerts and when you have shows you want the whole hood, and everyone you used to hang with 10 yrs ago to come out spend their money and shyt, but you can not step foot inside a party with them because you're too cool? I'm not asking for you to come to the club and slam dance with the hood or with anyone for that matter, I'm not even asking you to open the bar like you do for your birthday parties, but what is wrong with showing a little support to everyone that supports you and have supported you for decades. You want to sell records, but you don't want to be in the same building as those who buy them, you don't want to show support to the promoters you came up with or those that came up while you were blowing up. Some of these people in these places you go to are cool, but most of them them are cracker racist pricks.
Anyone who tells me you have a quota on how many black people you can have in the building I feel is full of shyt! Not wanting a room full of guys is understandable, not having a room with black guys is totally different. These places take all your money and pictures since big time musical artists are good for business but they treat your friends, your patrons, your people and sometimes EVEN YOU like shyt. But, these are the people you want to party with and show constant support! Ain't that a BITCH!?
Guess what the real funny of this story is. When I go to Atlanta, I see you in Urban Parties, When I go to Houston, I see you in Urban Parties, when I go to Miami, I see you in Urban Parties! You are all over the urban scene for so many different cities, but when it comes to NYC, everyone is too cool to be seen in the building.
