Ms. Sellars is considered one of the more respected midwives in New York, and her patients have included opera singers, actresses, bankers and models like Ms. Turlington. (Disclosure: of the more than 1,850 babies that Ms. Sellars has delivered, my daughter was No. 1,727 and my son was No. 1,798.)

laughing uncontrollably at this:
Five Leaves, as well as the Lorimer street bistro Lokal, were both issued citations over the past several weeks for hosting outdoor tables on Sunday mornings. Mongell is scruffy, with a patch of a beard, and he left the meeting feeling agitated: “For me, it’s like people being forced to the back of a bus in the fifties. It’s like, why?”

On the Brant Bros:
“Everybody loves celebrity children,” said Stephanie Trong, the editorial director of The Cut. “But perhaps the biggest appeal is that these guys live in the lap of luxury and they’re extremely open about their exploits. How many teens go to couture shows or fashion parties, much less document them on their joint Twitter feed, in such a hilarious, uncensored way?”
The Brants have almost 70,000 Twitter followers, a fraction of whom appear to be their age.
“Most of my tweets happen between 1 and 5 in the morning,” Harry said. “I’m a night owl, and random thoughts pop into my head. I’ll be watching ‘Mommie Dearest,’ and I’ll be like, ‘Oh, my God, Joan Crawford is amazing.’ ”
This sets off a film tangent.
“ ‘Cocktail’ is the best movie of all time,” Peter said.
“You hate ‘Troop Beverly Hills,’ but you love ‘Cocktail?’ ” Harry countered. “You are a tacky European man!”
But this was a brief low-culture aside. For a teenager, Peter Brant can sound like a been-there-done-that dowager countess, not that his Old World pretensions aren’t refreshing in the Internet age.
“I’m interested in 18th-century furniture, late-19th-century art, the Arts and Crafts movement and history of the mid- to late-19th century,” he said. “I bounce around a lot, but I usually stick with the same three centuries.”
Harry has similarly lofty passions. “I become obsessed with things like DNA or old Valentino shows or the Qing dynasty,” he said. “I have a love of opulence.”

I guess I feel like there is this small, ultra-rarefied group of people who finds that sort of stuff interesting, for whom the word "socialite" actually even means anything, and that those people should just have a private newsletter or something and stop taking up valuable internet space on sites The Rest Of Us read.

Unfair, the New York Observer is a 1000x better read than Sunday Styles.

Fuck me, that Brant brothers piece. In summary: "These people are rich and therefore better than you." And they're not even as bad as the bottom-feeders trailing behind them in the purgatorial demi-monde of the NYC fashion blog world. The writer could find good work as a dictator's official biographer.

T&C's take on celebrity is so weird. Sure, you're an attractive, talented actress in a critically acclaimed hit movie but if you didn't go to the right school than fuck you. It's like a parallel universe.

Trying to figure out if Town & Country is aimed at aspirational upper middle class, aspirational nouveau riche, or actual old money. It's hard to believe legit old money would have a glossy magazine about being old money, but IDK.
