THE MONTH OF DECEMBER was aswirl with parties more
than it was aswirl with snow—but what’s wrong with that? On December 4, the Young New Yorkers for the Philharmonic gathered at Badgley Mischka before routing to Doubles, where Pascual Martínez Forteza and Yoobin Son—musicians for the New York Philharmonic—treated the 200 attendees to a performance of chamber music. I danced around tables with guests such as Melissa Morris, Nina Platt, and Max Sinsteden before dining with Mark Gilbertson, Allison Hennessy, and
Eden Taylor. Really, there isn’t a thing in the world that is more Christmassy than Doubles in December. On the 10th, Relais & Châteaux hosted its luncheon at Daniel, toasting to president Philippe Gombert and welcoming grands chefs, including Jason Franey and Justin Cogley. Daniel Boulud, Daniel Humm, and Michael White—who are among the collection of grand chefs—were present to fête the occasion, as were Gillian Miniter, Elizabeth Olsen (what a stunner), and Al Roker.
