lol at circle. bagatelle sundays
From what I remember, Pink Elephant has been closed for months
Circle? For Korean-American bankers, yes.
LOL I have been to Circle and although there may be some K-AM bankers the more successful ones will generally hang out at more 'prestigious' places. I don't know too much about the bars (although I'm guessing the bar at Del Frisco's would be good) and Dorrian's on UES has a lot of Harvard grads. From personal experience there are ALWAYS bankers at SL, Avenue, and Provocateur. Late late night they can also be found at 1Oak. The day/night brunch at the Plaza is more popular than Bagatelle these days and newly opened Villa Pacri is popular with bankers (esp the European ones).
Do most wall-streeters/people in the city worry about the "prestige" of their hangouts? I get wanting to go somewhere nice, but I don't want to worry about "prestige" when I'm just trying to have a good time...
The whole damn thing is a fucking prestige circle jerk dude...from now til forever
Cain. Just ask AJ
+1
Cain closed a long time ago.
when in town (rarely): Cipriani Downtown, 1 Oak
Bryant Park Grill, 230 Fifth
Clubs - 1Oak, SL, Cellar Bar, Covet, Lavo, Avenue
Back Fence.
Best places to go out in NYC (Originally Posted: 02/08/2007)
Ideas? Preferably nothing Meatpacking/guido meathead.
Check out citysearch.com
Haha that's a kind of a broad question.
rooftop bar..views of the empire state building...
if you are into the fancy, high end night life I'd suggest scouring Soho. It's full of expensive and extremely nice restaraunts but also costs approximately 1.5 as much as a very similar place in, say, Brooklyn.
I love Ganselvort, but you said you wanted to get away fom meatpacking... If you want to go hotel rooftop bar, Penninsula has rooftop, and Hudson Hotel is nice too. Keep in mind context though... above are good for after work going out, and I'm a woman--my bar experience is probably different from yours. SoHo or Tribeca sre good too, but friday and sat can be overrun with bridge + tunnel crowd.
NYC hang out places for PE employees? (networking) (Originally Posted: 12/01/2010)
Does anyone on this site know where the guys from KKR and BX and other PE shops go to hang out and network in NYC after work? Like clubs and bars and stuff. I'm trying other (more traditional) networking routes but I'd be interested to know where these folks go to relax after work.
lol, this reminds me of the 'Beautiful 25 year old' thread.
Many bankers and PE folks simply stay at work 24/7. Other people (like me) go home, drink alone and mope about wondering why they chose to move to New York.
Yes, the paparazzi strategy should work well. Notice MD Ken enter the club, as you power walk out of your dark corner to the bar. "Hey, let me get that drink for you. How 'bout them New York Football Giants? Are you hiring?"
Hahaha

what are investment banker hangout places in the city?
without making any "judgements"...here are some places that come to mind:
pink elephant bowery bar joshua tree ("mini-roof-raise" to the Murray's Hill pilot from LeveragedSellout) Hiro PM Level V APT Libation
...but i think i'm a few years behind = old. so many of these places probably are "not in" anymore.
what about restaurants? now that i have a girlfriend, i find this to be the more importnat search. some of my favorites:
biancas el faro (just went there this past weekend = true spanish food) Chin Chin any simple italian joint that gives you a lot of food
....
Sway and Cain
maritime
any place is a great city
any place is a great city
Marquee. Best club in ny.
Off the Wagon or any place on McDougal that gives 2 for $2 Coors Light.
Personally, I say forget clubs and spend your money at the city's very nice restaraunts. Danny Meyer's establishments come to mind.
The view-rotating floor steak house Tao-Asian Fusion with the giant Buddha statue Ninja-waiters are actually dressed in ninja uniforms.
i want a banana
I would stay away from Off the Wagon...the ratio averages about 10-to-1 sweaty dudes to girls
