Oasis @ W. New York: Step beyond the billowing white curtain and you’re there. This netherworld of white on white accented with metal feels like a furniture showroom on Prozac. Thou shalt feel no anxiety, no pressure, and not a smidgen of haste. Everyone in this beautiful but crowded plush lounge seems to think they are somebody very important, and who knows, maybe they are. Now you know what Rande Gerber’s Midnight Oil Company does all day long—they develop spaces like this one. A bottle of Absolut will set you back 300 bucks (who cares, you’re famous, remember?) while sexy little numbers like the Flirtini and lavender margarita make for a great session of people-watching. |
