Find Out the Hippest Spots for the Wealthy in Manhattan, Milan and even Dubai
Looking for love -- or just a night out -- among the jet set? If you want to mingle with the rich and single you have to know where
they are -- and when they're there. As the seasons change, so do their
hangouts -- and, like the economy, this party is global. Bars and restaurants are the stage but not necessarily the
draw. Many of the hottest destinations have earned their place on the
circuit because of a local cultural event -- say, a charity
fund-raiser, fashion show, sporting contest or art festival. Others
just have a certain je ne sais quoi.Manhattan is always a good bet for scaring up the well-heeled and
unattached. Better yet, says David Patrick Columbia, editor of New York Social Diary, an online publication chronicling New York society, the upper crust is easier to crack there than in many other cities. "I think the reason young people come to New York is because it's the
city of opportunity and the city of opportunity socially," he says.
"Most of the people who are on the tippy-top [of the social ladder]
weren't always there. You can make anything of your life [in
Manhattan]."
