"I’d like to go to a time when cocaine was awesome"

The irony wasn’t lost on this old sailor: Last night, I was treated to a serious steak at a decidedly non-hipster haunt near my new home in Williamsburg. Destafano’s satisfied all my carnivorous urges and also introduced me to some of the locals in my new hood, people that don’t have a used dresser packed with plaid shirts back home. Williamsburg, with its hipster hangs, massive flowering parks, and quaint shops, is grounded in the old-school Italian and Polish populations who've been here forever, and, thankfully, who readily accept their newish quirky residents.

Sushi hotel - I'm not particularly fond of the connotations. For anyone who has ever visited a fish market in Tokyo, I think you catch my drift. It's not a building made of sushi, but it might as well be, because after a day at the fishmonger's place, anything that pairs construction terminology with fresh fish will forever bring you back to this guy. Eating them, yes—but who wants to sleep with the fishes? But what if it's a Nobu hotel, you say? Well in that case, bring it.

● 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.

On August 7th there will be a reunion for the World, a club that I have declared one of the 5 best of all time. My part in the history of the World came when I was a thin, unstoppable, whirlwind of substance and fluff with the requisite model wife and an ego that jostled with my reputation and anyone that got in my way. I weighed a buck thirty-five with bugged blue eyes and I was having a meeting with my staff at the Holiday on St. Marks Place. The Holiday was my “office” back in 1986. The owner—Stefan—never minded. I’d sit there for hours sipping Cokes and meeting models and promoters, building my little empire on beer- soaked wood tables and café chairs. The meeting was about some fashion extravaganza we were hosting at Danceteria —or was it at Café American? Or was it Café Americano? Anyway, it’s Nobu now. We were organized. We were doing 100 shows a year. Ivy Bernhard was doing hair and makeup. Cee Cee Borisovitch was putting the right ass in the right dress with the right shoes. We had a PR team landing us in important papers constantly and a promotional team bringing thousands to everything we did. We were bringing events in from London, Paris, Berlin and Amsterdam—and Houston and New Orleans as well.

● Sarah Palin @ the Time100 gala: It would be Double Musky in Girdwood, Alaska! ● Andy Samberg: Momofuku. ● Harvey Weinstein: I like Nobu downtown. ● Suzy Orman: Carmine's, either on 44th or on Broadway, uptown. My favorite dish is the chicken scarpariello, I love it! ● Judd Apatow and Leslie Mann: Katsuya!

● 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."

At the Date Night premiere: 1. Steve Carell - "Boy! You know what? On the way in, we drove by Shun Lee. My wife and I, when we lived here, we ate there all the time. John's Pizza was one of our favorite pizza places. Any one, but, certainly, the one in the Village, and I think they opened one up off Times Square. That's just always good." 2. Tina Fey - "My favorite restaurant in the world is a restaurant in Chicago, called the Athenaeum Room. Favorite dish? Chicken on french fries." 3. Taraji P. Henson - "The Little Owl. I went there the other night!" 4. Jimmi Simpson - "Providence, on Melrose, in Los Angeles. Any special dish? The five-course tasting menu." 5. Carol Alt - "Actually, I like Pure Food and Wine because it's a raw restaurant. What do you like there? Well, just about everything, but their ice cream is killer! Raw ice cream -- unbelievable, unbelievable. I eat at a lot of Japanese places, so I can have raw fish. I'm a raw foodist, so it, kind of, limits."

At the At Why Did I Get Married Too? premiere: 1. Janet Jackson: "[In Atlanta,] I go to Cafe Sunflower. It's a vegan restaurant. Everything is good there. It really is. And there's another vegan restaurant called Veggieland -- very good." 2.Tyler Perry: "And the restaurants in the movie were, actually, on the lot, so they weren’t real. Okay. You want a restaurant?! Okay. Rathbun’s in Atlanta was right across the street from our old studio, and they had the great lobster tacos – the best I ever had." 3.Cecily Tyson: "Pure Food and Wine here. I'm a vegan -- a vegetarian. And we had one in California that no longer exists. But, Mr. Chow has always been [a favorite], in Los Angeles." 4.Lamman Rucker: "For New York, it's the Sugar Bar -- Ashford and Simpson's Sugar Bar is the spot. In Atlanta, it's Cafe Circa that's in the Auburn-Edgewood area, yeah, real cool little spot. That's, probably, my favorite spot there." 5.Jill Scott: "My favorite restaurant is Buddakan in Philadelphia and in New York. Oh, forget it! Nobu in Malibu."

Steven Rojas is usually so put together, people assume he's gay. He explained his appeal when he was named one of New York's Mr. Rights "Some girls see guys dressed in Thom Browne or some sort of amazing suit, and they're like, 'Wow, what's that dude's deal? Is he gay?'" Often described as a 'Man About Town," Rojas balances the late nights of a full social calendar with a demanding career as a fashion director at Archetype Showroom, always appearing dapper, fresh and awake. Here is how he does it (it's a surprisingly simple routine).
