Eldridge Sends Its Cards Out

Remember Valentines Day in middle school, when kids walk around hoping to be special enough to be given a card or treat? Well, knowing that this is the week that the Eldridge sent out its "Guest of Matt Levine" cards to the 400 most special people on the planet (exclusing Tom Cruise), we can't feel more than just a little bummed. Why didn't we get one? Why did we only get a roll of two ply? Waa. Waa. Anyway, apparently there are scores of them going out to people. Pictured above are three cards sent to three Little Birdy's who lined them up and snapped a pretty picture. So pretty. A Little Birdy also told us that several people were getting multiple cards. Can they not find 400 recipients? We also were forwarded an email blast by Shecky's, who have been inside and state "this is the best $650,000 wall of Armand de Brignac among the tenements of the Lower East Side." You know Shecky's, always willing to go out on a limb. We will be standing in line outside each and every night, begging to be let as a +1. Have pity on us.

Levine, that baby turd, couldn't tell the difference between a glass of Armand de Brignac and a glass of Korbel.

this IS boring. What happened to clubs with rooms that you can fuck and do drugs in? They have turned into stupid little cards. I am sure EVERYONE who is going to the Eldridge will be soooooo interesting. You can ask them how it is (if you are unlucky to get in) cause they will be at rosebar, the box, beatrice, 1Oak or anywhere else there is buzz.
Since when is regular wierdos and artists not entertaining? Open up your fucking doors!

Another overhyped mediocre NYC nightlife venue? What a pathetic city. You guys have nothing to offer aside from garbage, smell, ugly women, and crappy nightlife. Even Amy Sacco thinks NYC's social scene stinks.

And another thing, if I had any friends I wouldn't be so angry.

I'm sure you could sell one or two of those for a lot of money, before the place dies out. A buddy of mine sold a key card to the Rose Bar for $800 on aSmallWorld... What a pathetic waste of money! you could easily triple the price for this Eldridge card

Hey, I wish him luck. I'm not a hater. When he gets desperate, he can invite those street kids in Tompkins Sq. Park. The ones with the tatoo's on their cheeks who eat out of garbage pails in front of pizzerias.
