Has anyone been to a store in NY called Opening Cereminy? V. cool stock, and Im pretty sure they opened in 2003...

I was just there over new years, and had sooo much fun....its a total party city.

The place to see and be seen is The Shore Club (another Schrager hotel) on Collins Avenue....the scene by the pool is totally OTT but basically impossible to get to unless u r a guest (I spotted Vin Diesel, Adrian Brody, Norah Jones & Jessica Alba in the space of a couple of hours)....check out the Sky Bar inside the hotel though, and also the always fabulous Nobu and Nobu Lounge....

the Delano Hotel on Collins is also pretty cool but not so much the flavour of the month as Shore Club...

the best clubs I went to were Mint (also on Collins), Prive, Nikki Beach (on Ocean Drive) and crubar, which has a night called back door bambi on Mondays...if u r into something a little more chilled, theres a place called Lounge 17 (i think) on 17th street where all the locals go...

the famous News Cafe on Ocean Drive (where Gianni Versace was shot) is always good for a bite to eat and some ppl watching....otherwise, there r millions of cafes and restaurants on Lincoln mall, and also lots of shops...

cute vintage store on Washington near the corner of Lincoln, good sneakers etc, but I cant remember the name!!

and if u r into designer stuff, u should definitely check out the mall at Bal Harbour, which has everything from Gucci to Valentino to Versace, plus Saks 5th Ave and another big department store (maybe Nordstroms?)

Hope that helps! Have fun!!
