Are you obsessed with NYC nightlife? Do you like your gossip to be as witty as it is informative? Manhattan-based writer Molly Young has begun chronicling the goings-on at hotspots like Le Bain and the Thompson LES hotel, offering lingerie model sightings and quips about the musical choices of hipster DJs, all with a distinct literary feel. Young, who has previously written for everyone from Vice to n+1 to More Intelligent Life (and who maintains a wonderful blog of her own) manages to capture the high-voltage mood of the New York party scene while remaining detached enough to keep her observations accurate and objective. For example, at a fragrance release party: “Beyond the girlie scrim of activity—the Givenchy dress blowing in the wind, the models dancing to Justin Bieber's ‘Baby’—there are in fact men ordering manly drinks, quietly absorbing the view and ignoring trays of mini-desserts.” Young takes something fascinating and makes it even more so; if you like party reports done with a critical eye, make sure to check out her column on the Details website.
