Publisher’s Letter | SCENE
T
he March issue marks the first anniversary of SCENE, and it has been quite a year. We have a lot to be grateful for; the community has really embraced us. We thank our readers for being so devoted and we thank our advertisers for being so generous. You may notice that we look as if we have grown a bit and that is true. As of this issue we have gone to a larger format, one that we feel will give our editorial a better platform. Not only are we bigger, but with this issue we are also broader. Until now we have been almost exclusively an Upper East Side publication. With the March issue we welcome our downtown neighbors. There was a time when there was a line of demarcation at 57th street. Today, uptown New Yorkers are moving downtown and downtown New Yorkers are moving uptown.
The one thing that will not change is our commitment to our editorial mission. We will continue to take you behind the scenes of the most luxurious parties, introduce you to the most exciting people and keep you on top of the worlds of fashion, art, travel, entertaining, real estate and interior design. We cannot all be everywhere but SCENE will continue to make you feel like you are. We are looking forward to an even more fabulous year and to continuing to branch out into other zip codes. We also encourage you to stay in the know by going to sceneinny.com. Thank you all for making year one a year to remember. Sincerely, Julie Dannenberg, Publisher
