The End of Amy Sacco
Joshua David Stein, New York's busiest and most influential reporter, delivered a tour de force article in Page Six Magazine this week on the former queen of New York City nightlife, Amy Sacco. You may recognize some familiar names. Ahem. Ahem. Best part is Amy's comment that she has gone "into hedge funds and finance." So have we. And we also enjoyed the comments about London's Bungalow 8, with one Londoner commenting “I would rate the club lounge at Heathrow Airport higher than this place.” Ouchy.

"Steve Kamali, a nightlife player for the last 20 years and co-owner of the Surf Lodge in the Hamptons"
Isn't this dude like, 25?
steve kamali is a broker who trades in restaurant/club spaces. he is much older than 25, hardly a nightlife player, but became partners with jamie mulholland for surf lodge. probably just brought him the deal. ha. kamali.
This is from the interview he did with Steve Lewis...
"Steve Lewis: You get a lot of press. What are you twenty-six years old?
Steve Kamali: Can I refrain from answering…Ok, I’m twenty-seven years old actually."
Heard Kamali is a partner in a bunch of clubs and restaurants in the city...if he wasn't good at what he does why do all these Hotel, Restaurant and Club owners keep partnering with him...
I have sat in on hotel development meetings with him...The kid is only 27, but way beyond his years...he was recently hired by Jason Pomeranc on 3 hotel projects, Viceroy Hotels, Morgans and slew of others throughout the world to bring on the restaurants and nightlife...not sure if he's a "nighlife player", but he's definately a successful dealmaker that is being approached by all the big boys in town.
Really my point was that starting in the business at age 7 is either very ambitious, or just a mistake by page 6.
he gets the spaces and finds people to rent them out. that is as far as it goes. and yea he's been doing it for maybe 6 or 7 years not 20.
Page Six must have mistaken his age...
for real, the dude is in his 40's at least. check on eater when they did features with him. they had his mug plastered all over the place. not even close to 20's. and which one of these posts was you steven. hmmm... let me guess...
he might look older, but it's fairly clear he's only 27.
boom...

dude is 27! ouch! how'd he get so much damn experience? was he the bathroom guy at area when he was 7 years old?
has anybody that is writing these posts accomplished as much as he has by the time they were 27....I doubt it!
oh brother.
scott, you know i love you and all, but if you keep blatantly sucking your boyfriends's balls alls over this place, then you can be sure you may never ever ever ask me to hook you up for a stupid reservation anywheres in this godforsaken town ever again.
"most influential" ?? GET SERIOUS.
xoxo
p.s. please tell your silly goofball bitch i said "hi!" and "bite me, mutherfukker." thanks.
hey abbe,
i doubt he needs you took hook him up with reso's
hey dumb,
oh, you DO, do you ?
bully for you.
what exactly are you referring to, abbe?
Abbe helped us get a reservation for dinner because she is a kind soul. So, please do not doubt what Abbe says, she is 100% accurate and we consider her a great friend.
Abbe my dear a bit more class in your comments please this isn't Eater.
sorry sweetcheeks, but the day i take any sort of expository advice from an "internet commenter" who isn't even quite brave enough to sign his/her name to all his/her derogatory shit and "criticism," is the same day pigs will fly and Eater will actually be relevant to anybody with half a brain cell.
but thanks, i didn't realize i was so famous.
xo
I just meant commenting "sucking your boyfriends balls" was a bit much. Why are you so angry? I was not rude or derogatory I just asked nicely to clean it up, is that so wrong? Would you like my real name?Where I have worked in the industry? which restaurateurs and chefs am I friends with? Ask Scott what my email is, I will gladly give you my bio to see if you approve. Living my life on internet message boards really isn't my thing but by how "internet famous" you are I can see you do not mind at all. By the way I saw your photo and you are pretty hot. Just saying.>>>
P.S. abbe my dear i am not a bad guy promise, if you like I will be at that J Ozersky event this evening if you are there I will buy you a beer. :)
me ? at a "j ozersky event" ??
aha ha haah hah hahahahahahahaaa. riiiiight
but thank you very much for the offer. some other time perhaps. some other place-- a far less nauseating prospect of a venue, i mean.
