Best New York party you've ever attended (and why): The opening of Barney's on Madison Avenue years ago. They did conspicuous excess with class and style back then!
What sets Manhattan nightlife apart: For me it's not the big party's so much as small-semi spontaneous gatherings of remarkable people.  Whenever renowned writers, journalists, business leaders, entrepreneurs, philanthropists, scientists, policy analysts, painters and filmmakers—constantly refreshed with the smartest, most ambitious, best educated and passionate new arrivals from all over the world—have the potential to be gathered together, extraordinary evenings can happen.
