If you like the sound of popping cork, there's no better place to be this week than New York City. Starting today, top citywide restaurants will be featuring wines from Puglia, a southeastern region of Italy, in a promotion brought to you from winery association Wines of Puglia. (Try saying 'Wines of Puglia' out loud: totally fun.) The first ever Puglia Wine Week will offer wine lovers the chance to discover regional grape varieties like negroamaro, uva di Troia, and the popular Primitivo.

● Christina Ricci at the Whitney Art Party: I like Da Umberto and Il Buco for pasta, the Peking Duck House for duck. ● Leigh Lezark of Misshapes: Kenmare, they make really good gnocchi. I do like the brunch at the Tribeca Grand. ● Eva Amurri: Jumbo's Clown Room in L.A. is super fun. I also love to have a drink and get something to eat at Gjelina, which has amazing tuna crudo and really good vegetable sides and pizza.

● Maggie Gyllenhaal @ the Fresh Air Fund gala: Al di La and Il Buco: anything there! ● Maggie Rizer: At Nobu I get everything. I like the sea bass and the lettuce leaves, the tuna sashimi salad, the shishito peppers, and the Kobe beef. ● Brian Williams: I'm laughing because my wife and I go to the same two places all the time! There's a little French place on Lexington; there's a pasta place on 49th, Alfredo's, because it's right next to NBC.

Fashion and interiors photographer Todd Selby never dreamed he'd spend his days behind a lens, much less shooting inside the homes of creative icons like Karl Lagerfeld and Christian Louboutin. He grew up in the suburbs and worked a bevy of eclectic jobs—Tijuana tour guide, exotic flower wholesaler, and Japanese clothing designer to name a few—never having considered or even heard of a career as a photographer. All that change when Selby moved to New York and began working at Details in 2001. Selby began taking photos of his friends and their homes, developing his own portfolio in his spare time. These pictures—intimate glimpses into the lust-worthy (and often cluttered) spaces of artistic personalities—soon became the buzz of the design community by way of Selby's photoblog, The Selby.com. We sat down with fashion's favorite voyeur to talk Selby beginnings, dream subjects, and his new book, The Selby in Your Place. Details after the jump.

● Mena Suvari at the Zac Posen for Target shopping party: "Sushi at Nobu." ● Ginnifer Goodwin: "Candle 79 here. Madeleine Bistro in L.A." ● Selma Blair: "I love the Savoy and I love Minetta Tavern." ● Zac Posen: "My favorite restaurant Kai, just closed in New York. And I'm very saddened about Takashimaya. I love Casa Lever has the best steak and great pasta. It's really good Italian."

New York native Donna Lennard is the owner of Bond Street’s Il Buco. The story of this neighborhood favorite began 15 years ago when Lennard fell in love with a “crazy Italian,” Alberto Avalle, and they went into the antique business together. The antique store eventually turned into the local produce oriented restaurant. Last Spring, Donna had an unusual opportunity to eat, drink and ski through the French Alps, which inspired her to pursue a magical alternative for her clients caught in the whirlwind of life in NYC. Il Buco has teamed with Europe’s premier private ski guide Luca Boniciolli, offering travelers a week of skiing within Courchevel’s Trois Vallées. Guests reside in luxurious accommodations and indulge in meals crafted by Il Buco’s Chef, Ignacio Mattos paired with the wine selections of Wine Director Paul Lang. Lennard, who has also directed a number of short films, including La Raccolta about harvesting olive oil in Italy, spoke with us about the restaurant, the project in Courchevel and her films.

Climbing aboard the locavore bandwagon is tricky for Manhattanites. Most of our acreage is covered in concrete. And heavily populated. Greenmarkets are a help, although less so when it comes to wine. There’s only one homegrown vintage, “Château Latif,” cultivated in a backyard on E. 92nd Street. It’s not widely distributed. Expanding our immediate options is City Winery, Michael Dorf’s newish restaurant slash concert hall slash full-on winemaking operation. There’s some precedent for Manhattan fermentation. Our humble island was the first spot in the state to cultivate grapes, with the Dutch putting down vines in the 1600’s. The rest of New York soon followed, creating what’s now a thriving wine industry.

On September 24, the world’s foremost trance & electronic producer and DJ, Tiësto (Tijs Michiel Verwest), kicked off a 175-date World Tour with three stellar nights at the Hammerstein Ballroom. The tour seeks to promote the October 20 release of his fourth studio album, Kaleidoscope. On the new album, Tiësto collaborates with such acts as Sigur Rós, Nelly Furtado, Calvin Harris, and Tegan & Sara. The first single released in July, “I Will Be Here,” has already been a hit in Europe and recently penetrated the iTunes Top 10 Dance Chart. This comes after a long string of successes, including a Grammy award for his album Elements of Life, numerous endorsement deals, the start of his label Musical Freedom, and five European #1s. Tiësto is one of the most sought-after producers, having remixed tracks by such epic headliners as Madonna, Britney Spears, Sarah McLachlan, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Paul Oakenfold, Moby, Tarkan, Kanye West, The Killers, and Maroon 5. Tiësto is not one to sit around, and the new album marks fresh developments in his musicianship and certainly solidifies his global popularity. We hunted Tiësto down during his New York visit to get the lowdown on his fast-paced globetrotting, in and out of the hottest nightlife venues around the world.

The owners of Noho's mixed-use hotspot, The Smile, Carlos Quirarte and Matt Kliegman have done their best to turn their joint into the coolest clubhouse in town. Located in a circa-1830's Bond Street building, the bar effortlessly fuses a rustic cafe and boutique with the basement tattoo parlor of legendary ink artist, Scott Campbell. The pair may also be spotted at the the Jane Hotel Ballroom, which they run after the sun goes down.
