* * * LATEST UPDATE: The guest list is now closed for tomorrow's Hamptons Kick-Off Party.

If you did not receive a direct confirmation from me, your name won't be on the list. My friend's place is big but we're definitely at our limit. Sorry if I wasn't able to get you in for this one and hope to see you at the next party.* * *

2013 is officially here and we're kicking-off our series of events in NYC to bring everyone together who will be visiting us this summer in the Hamptons!

Hamptons Summer 2013 Kick-Off Party
Thursday, January 17th
Private Loft-style Apartment with outdoor space
Midtown (East 50s)
7pm to 11pm

► 100% Private event hosted at my friend Rob Kresberg's place.
► Phone RSVPs required at 212-579-4844 to attend and to find out exact address. Since it's a private residence, we prefer not to publicize the address.
► Strict guest list limited to 75 guests. (Guest list is CLOSED!)
► Light food and drink will be served.
► However, you are welcome and encouraged to bring a bottle of your favorite drink to add to the bar. You can never have too much alcohol and we sincerely appreciate it :)

* * * SOMETHING SPECIAL * * *

In the spirit of the upcoming Hamptons season (a region well known for its fine wines and expansive vineyards), wine consultant Shana Sokol of Shana Speaks Wine will be on hand to teach the fundamentals of how to taste wine.

Shana will conduct tastings throughout the evening. For more info visit: facebook.com/ShanaSpeaksWine & shanaspeakswine.blogspot.com

Stir, one of our favorite uptown lounges, will be sponsoring and preparing a specialty cocktail menu just for this private midtown event. Stir is located on 73rd and 1st and their website is stirnyc.com. 

See you soon and already looking forward to another amazing summer in the Hamptons!
