Uptown welcomed Gustavo Dudamel to the New York Philharmonic on Wednesday with a breathtaking bash that had its crescendo at the new Brasserie Boulud.<\/p>\n
There was a celebration for New York Philharmonic\u2019s new Music and Artistic Director, Gustavo Dudamel. Matt Winkelmeyer<\/p>\n
Two of high culture\u2019s most generous philanthropists, Barbara Tober and Elizabeth Segerstrom, hosted the party for the Met\u2019s new conductor right after he finished performing at David Geffen Hall at the Lincoln Center. The party also honored Tober and Sederstom\u2019s late husbands, Sweet\u2019n\u2019Low mogul Donald Tober and South Coast Plaza developer Henry Segerstrom. <\/p>\n
Barbara and Elizabeth treated pals including Candace Bushnell and Francine LeFrak to heaps of caviar during the intermission of the performance, and then more friends including with Peter Marino, Daniel Boulud and Katherine Gage Boulud, Bill Burford and Jessica Green, Yue Sai Kan and Allan Pollack, Judith Pisar, Kip Forbes, and many more, partied on at the restaurant with Dudamel receiving toasts, hugs and handshakes all evening. <\/p>\n
Donald died in 2021 at 89 after a battle with Parkinson\u2019s, and Henry died in 2015 at 91.<\/p>\n
Mayor\u2019s mishaps obit embarrassing<\/p>\n
New York Times obituary writer Sam Roberts gave a sneak peek of Rudy Giuliani\u2019s obit \u2013 and we\u2019re sorry to says there\u2019s some bad news for America\u2019s Mayor. When Nayeema Raza asked Roberts on her \u201cSmart Girl, Dumb Questions\u201d podcast for the \u201cmeanest\u201d piece he\u2019s written, he confessed it is the one for the DA-turned-mayor-turned-Trump-toady who has an almost unique gift for getting himself into embarrassing scrapes. <\/p>\n
Raza guessed that the regrettable incident in which Giuliana was filmed lying on a bed and reaching down his pants to remove a TV mic pack in the \u201cBorat\u201d movie would make the obit (Roberts confirmed) and she guessed correctly that his futile campaign to prevent Mayor Mamdani from attending the 9\/11 Memorial service would be included. Finally, Roberts confirmed that the antic in which Giuliani arranged a press conference about \u201celection rigging\u201d at the Four Seasons Total Landscaping store rather than the Four Seasons hotel would be forever inscribed in his obit. \u201cIt\u2019s not to make fun of the guy,\u201d Roberts said, \u201cbut it just says something about his personal demeanor.\u201d<\/p>\n
Turning publishing on its head<\/p>\n
You\u2019re gonna flip. Downtown tabloid On The Rag launched its third issue this week. If you read from one direction it\u2019s Samuel Loren\u2019s buzzy literary paper, but flip it upside down and turn it around and it\u2019s an issue of Tif Sigrid\u2019s artworld mag \u201cUmm\u2026\u201d \u201cI didn\u2019t know almost any of the artists Tif brought into the issue, and she didn\u2019t know hardly any of the people I brought in,\u201d said Loren, \u201cWe assumed we were part of the same world, but realized we were speaking to two completely different generations. The issue became a way of smashing those worlds together.\u201d <\/p>\n
Andrew Kreps of the Andrew Krepps Gallery, Susan Inglett of the Susan Inglett Gallery, Ben Davis of Artnet News, Peter Mendelsund of the Atlantic, and Vice\u2019s Nick Dove attended a rager to fete the new twofer issue at a sprawling private home on Fifth Avenue. Spies also spotted maven Jane Pratt\u2013 who Page Six just reported was seen ducking out of an art party because of the lingering effects of a broken sternum \u2014 seemed back to being match-fit and launch-party ready.<\/p>\n
New life for Soho hotspot<\/p>\n
It\u2019s the end of an era for downtown nightlife. Socialista, the cool kid club located above Cipriani in Soho, has permanently closed its doors, we hear. But the space won\u2019t stay dark for long: A source tells us it\u2019s set to reopen as Living Room, a lounge concept that debuted at Cipriani\u2019s Miami outpost in December 2025 in the space formerly occupied by Socialista. The downtown hotspot was still making headlines just last week, when club king Richie Akiva held an after-party there following his birthday bash at the 1Oak pop-up. A rep for the venue did not respond to request for comment.<\/p>\n
Bill\u2019s a host-buster <\/p>\n
Bill Murray tested his quips on \u201cthe greatest live band in the world\u201d this week when he introduced the Tedeschi Trucks Band at Eric Clapton\u2019s Crossroads Festival in Austin. The funny guy met the band\u2019s founder, Derek Trucks, backstage. \u201cI remember Bill asking me if I was Derek from Derek and the Dominos when I first arrived. He seemed to be workshopping his intros throughout the night,\u201d Trucks told Page Six. Trucks explained Murray\u2019s jokes gave him pre-show jitters. \u201cStanding backstage, waiting to go on stage, and not being able to hear him speak, but hearing the crowd laughing here and there, and [I was] just wondering what he was saying \u2013 and hoping it was good,\u201d he said. It turned out Trucks had nothing to worry about. Murray introduced them as \u201cthe greatest live band in the world right now,\u201d which Trucks told us was\u00a0 \u201chigh praise from somebody that we are a fan of.\u201d We\u2019re sure Murray\u2019s co-sign didn\u2019t hurt when they hit the stage again on Thursday night to perform at Radio City for Buddy Guy\u2019s 90th birthday.<\/p>\n

Cabaret star Bridget Everett says life is completely different from before her HBO series \u201cSomebody Somewhere\u201d and now. \u201cI used to always have to call . . . the Chase line- to check my balance,\u201d before going out to dinner, she told PageSix,com\u2019s Nicky Gostin at the New York City Ballet 2026 Fall Gala. \u201cSo now I don\u2019t have to call that number anymore,\u201d Everett says, adding that she can now take pals, like Murray Hill, out to dinner. \u201cWe like to go to steakhouses and get the sides. I don\u2019t like to eat beef, but I like the martinis and the sides, and that\u2019s a party for me.\u201d The \u201cInside Amy Schumer\u201d alum, who has an impressive cleavage, offered advice for other top-heavy gals. \u201cThey\u2019re just t-ts, let it rip!\u201d<\/p>\n
