Robert Pattinson was here in New York for a while, where, like a mirage of tousled sex, he dodged fans while flitting from hotel to bar to hotel. If the young gentleman can ever again summon the courage to return to Manhattan -- and its chorus of “OHMYGAWD ITSEDWARDILOVEEDWARD ICOULDJUSTDIEEEEEEEE” -- here is a list of his favorite places to hide. Stalk away!

● Pearl Street Diner (West Village) - According to this man’s Twitter account and this blogger’s mobile photos, the no-fuss West Village eatery was closed on July 15 when it became a filming location for Pattinson’s new movie. When asked for comment, Pearl’s cooks said, “We’ll never wash our hands again.”

Patrick Grant is the dapper proprietor of bespoke tailors, Norton & Sons on Savile Row in London. In 2008 alone, he landed on both the UK Esquire and GQ magazines’ best dressed lists. Suffice to say he knows what looks smart, not only on himself, but to his legion of natty clientele at Norton & Sons who seek perfectly tailored suits. Since 1821, the shop has created garments for likes of royalty and beyond, with Grant taking over the reigns in 2005 and also spearheading a resurgence of E. Tauz & Sons, a cousin-label, yet for the ready-to-wear set. E. Tauz & Sons is set to debut this autumn within stores in London and Japan. Blackbook caught up with Grant over morning coffee in New York City at the Thompson LES Hotel.

Why are you in New York City right now? Three times a year we do this trip with Norton & Sons where we take appointments with our private clients based in the United States. We take the top floor suite at Lafayette House on East 4th Street.

Those Arnold Schwarzenegger sci-fi Terminator flicks are really swell. I personally liked T2, the first sequel, better than the original. So it may be a similar story with Mansion. Word is that Mansion will almost immediately become "M2." Just around a year after its launch, a game of musical chairs has followed a bankruptcy court proceeding last week.

Lori Levine, founder and CEO of Flying Television Talent Booking & Brokering, divulges her penchant for matchmaking, loathing for the über-VIP VIPs, and 2009's imperative social calendar

Where do you go out? Lunetta. They have a perfect menu. The meatballs with raisins and pine nuts are worth the trip. Also, it is so close to my office. I take all my lunch meetings there. Gemma at the Bowery Hotel. I love lots of different bites, so the option to order tons of small plates is fantastic, and the atmosphere is perfect for two or twenty. Rose Bar at the Gramercy Park Hotel. You can count on a comfy chair, a warm fireplace, and perfectly mixed drinks. I adore the penthouse and plan as many events as I can there.

What's your story? I am a talent broker bringing together Hollywood and corporate America through marketing, advertising, celebrity events, spokesmanship deals, and celebrity personal appearances.

Covet thy neighbor, their date, their gear, their shoes, their shiny trinkets.

1. Gemma (South Beach) - Smack in the thick of it all above Lincoln Road, yet purposefully easy to miss. Can't help but be voyeuristic.
2. News Cafe (South Beach) - Where Gianni Versace had his last meal. Where locals kick back and watch European rollerbladers roll by. Where tourists go to pretend they're locals.
3. Segafredo (Downtown/Brickell) - Welcome to Eurotrash hell in a fabulous way. At the end of Lincoln Road, in the middle of it all. Can still have a good convo, though.

Capitale’s Seth Greenberg on the origins of bottle service, taking over Boston, why Parisians bite New York style, and who really invented bottle service.

Point of Origin: The Paradise Club and Stitches [were my first properties, both in Boston]. Both needed pre-function, so we moved Stitches to an independent location. Then we expanded Paradise by opening M-80 in the old Stitches site. So we moved Stitches to a new location, about a mile away, so now Stitches had a big space. A comedy club in the back, and a little restaurant bar/lounge up front. And now M-80 was connected to the Paradise Club. After about a year, we expanded, then eventually gutted the entire facility so M-80 had both buildings. Then we expanded M-80 to New York, opened Conscience Point in Southampton, and created M-80 in the summer.

At the Vogue and IMG-hosted fete celebrating the launch of Model.Live -- a reality series following three fledgling IMG models as they attempt to navigate the fashion industry -- last night at Gemma, there was plenty to catch a fashion fanatic's eye. The three, newbie models -- Cato, Austria, and Melanie -- were on hand (each decked out in a distinctive LBDs). Meanwhile, a few seasoned supes like Kirsty Hume and Jacquetta Wheeler were likewise in attendance, upping the fashion ante. But perhaps especially of note was a Balenciaga-clad, pint-sized, pale-faced 18-year-old shuffling around the restaurant, always within arms' reach of Paper mag's Mickey Boardman.

Freeman's and Rusty Knot co-owner Taavo Somer talks about his failed busboy career, the proper use of porno paneling, and why he strives for simplicity when doing three jobs at once.

Point of Origin: I moved here when I was 27, for a job at Steven Holl Architects. And my first day was an immediate wake-up call that it wasn't gonna work out. I had been working in big firms for years, and this was my dream job. And when that disillusionment came, I thought: screw architecture. I'll do something else. A friend there knew Serge Becker. I thought I'd be a busboy, learn to tend bar. When I met him, he was like, "Why do you want to work in a bar? I have no busboy openings but I have a project." It turned out to be Lever House, which he was working on with John McDonald, and the designer Marc Newson. Serge didn't have a trained architect in his office, so he said, "Do this until a busboy position opens up!"
