When Graydon Carter (EIC of
Vanity Fair
) took charge of the Beatrice Inn’s reincarnation we figured that the previous primacy enjoyed by the shuttered nightclub was to be a distant memory. Indeed, our suspicions have been confirmed (cue sad-face emoticon). According to Style.com's man-about-town, Darrell Hartman, the downtown cool kids have definitely dispersed. Gone are the gritty, backroom antics and unironic drug use (shared by New York’s never-ending night-lifers and celebs, celebs, celebs), scrubbed clean and replaced by a beautifully designed, smoking-free steakhouse, with our favorite bartender Matt nowhere in sight. Though, yes, there are still lots of celebs (it's GC, after all).
