Enraged by the bailout? The several thousand dollar brunch is on us!
In the Times this weekend, Katherine Bindley did an article on the young and rich who spend several thousand dollars on Saturday brunch here in Manhattan:
"As for how he and his fellow Wall Streeters could still afford such afternoons, he said: "We all made so much money in the past five years, it doesn't matter."
Maddening enough, but she saves the best line for last:
"A 29-year-old man who works for a large investment management firm and was at Bagatelle's brunch one recent Saturday and at Merkato 55's the next, put it another way: "If you'd asked me in October, I'd say it'd be a different situation, and I don't think I'd be here. Then the government gave us $10 billion."
