Chrysler Building. So hot right now. Chrysler Building. What's bizarre about the Observer 's trend piece about midtown from this morning is not its basic premise that somehow celebrities and fabulous people haven't been going to nice restaurants above 23rd Street for — give or take — a century. It's not the repeated plugging of three rich-people properties: Casa Lever , Monkey Bar , and...

Before Graydon Carter was the editor of Vanity Fair who jets to Bermuda while his magazine's staff is laid off, he was just a young Canadian with a penchant for ice-skating and an out-sized ego. So says a childhood friend! In a post on his obscure political blog last month, an alleged former friend of Carter's writes "Apropos of nothing, I thought I'd share some late night memories of my BFF pre-teen...
