The first thing a person needs to know when moving to New York City is that parties are very important. They are the connection to the city. Parties bring friends, work, love and terrible hangovers.
In movies set in NYC I have found scenes similar to the parties I have attend. Here are three of them, help me to remember more or add yours.
Breakfast at Tiffany's: I haven't been in party that elegant but the soiree at Holly Golightly's tiny apartment is an accurate description of how NYC parties work and the stuff you can expect.
Next Stop Greenwich Village: There are two parties in here. One is the classic bar during a winter night where the character of a painter like my friend Renzo Ortega is introduced. The other is a house party that ilustrates the Social Whist Party concept I work every year in my place.
Midnight Cowboy: This is my newest addition to the list. The party Joe (Jon Voight) and Ratzo (Dustin Hoffman) are invited is the underground artsy fest alike to the Rubulab parties I went during my first months in the city.
Kramer Vs. Kramer: I couldn't find the YouTube of the corporate christmas party Dustin Hoffman walks by, but I'm counting it. I've been there.
