An In With the In Crowd, for a Fee

Wednesday, January 19th, 2005

For a fee, the hipsters at PartyBuddys.com will make you a VIP for the night. From An In With the In Crowd, for a Fee:

Its night-out package includes a guide (the party buddy) to usher clients “through crowds of jealous bystanders,” limousine service, complimentary drinks and V.I.P. treatment at six Manhattan clubs (Cielo, Plaid, Webster Hall, Copacabana, Spirit and China Club).

Fees for the night start at $350 a person; full rock-star treatment is available for $1,200.

Mr. King and Mr. Roefaro, who operate the business out of Mr. Roefaro’s late grandmother’s brick house in Union City, estimate that at least 60 percent of their clients are middle-aged professionals from out of town who have never visited a New York nightclub.
