You can come by plane, train or helicopter but there is no better way to get to the Hamptons these days than by The IVY’s party bus, leaving out of Soho every other Saturday and heading non-stop to their parties at Sole East in Montauk. Only thing is, $2k isn’t what you need to get on this bus - it’s VIP status only. Knowing the right people is the key, and keeping your fingers crossed tightly for that e-vite to show up in your inbox is just as important.

I was confronted by a group of readers who were not so happy with me over this at Sole East last month who said they didn’t appreciate my liberal use of the word “hipster” in reference to certain places, clothing choices, and things of the like.

We’re planning on blasting this in the car all the way to Montauk on Saturday. Just swap out Hotel “Yorba” with “Sole East” and press repeat. We’re not quite sure what time we’ll make it there, but we somehow always do. But instead of grabbing that umbrella, we’d suggest a pair of wayfarers. More »
