The comparision really isn't fair; people take off August in Europe, and thus european hotspots tend to be going on every night of the of the week in high season, building up to a round-the-clock frenzy in places like Ibiza. By comparison the hamptons scene is essentially busy only one night of the week, and not even all night long, with a "Big" holiday weekend where they are busy two nights of the week. It's pretty sad actually -- New Yorkers have to fret about getting to the few decent things there are to do on the few good nights there are, and immediately shuffle right on back to work the next day. People in Ibiza right now are partying so hard they're not sure what planet they are on, let alone worrying about how to get back to their jobs on earth .
