What happens when bankers meet bankers from other firms?

So I driving today listening to Akon's song beautiful and when he sings "i see you in da club", it immediately reminded me of bankers partying at some nice club like Dorsia. Anyways I was wondering what happens when bankers from one firm meet other bankers in the club or bump into others getting "to go" Italian for dinner at a five star michelin star restaurant.

I imagine it's much like animals in the prairie prowling around sniffing each other out when they first meet. Then the dick wagging begins to see who has the hottest girlfriend, coolest car, and makes the most money. Passive aggressive growls become trash talking until the alpha Goldman Sachs MD pulls up in his Bentley and tells everyone to shut up and get back to work. At this point the guy from Piper Jaffray runs over starts to frantically wipe the MD's windshield and asks if GS is hiring.

Am I getting this right??!!

lol If that were true, NYC would officially be the most exciting city.
Regardless, I thought Dorsia was now closed? And nobody can go to a 5-star Michelin restaurant.
