Kanye West (8 nods) and Amy Winehouse (6 nods) top the Grammy Award nominations, announced today. They better bring big tote bags—green friendly!—to the Feb. 10 ceremony because they're looking to take home a lot of those little record player statues.

Here’s one not to miss: Michael Bloomberg’s Hanukkah’s party is taking place on December 5th at 49-51 Chambers Street, complete with Glatt Kosher food.

And if you don’t think there’s news at these parties, think again. At a holiday party last year, Bloomberg and some City Hall aides sang a modified version of the Bruce Springsteen song “Born to Run."

I’m currently putting together a list of political parties, so if you have an invitation, email me. (Pictures from the parties I’m not invited to are also welcome).

A few minutes after 11 p.m. last night, two uniformed caterers were shuffling quietly around Pam Gale’s corner apartment on the 26th floor of Trump’s One Central Park West.

Last night, there was a party for artist and photographer Marilyn Minter’s eponymous new coffee-table book at the vault-like Tom Ford boutique on the corner of 70th and Madison Avenue (forgot that Tom Ford, former designer for Gucci, has a boutique? We forgive you).

Champagne, white wine and vodka only—no stains allowed in this joint!  read more »
