Media City: Prints of tides
New York Post | July 14, 2014
For those seeking more heft in their summer reads, try Avenue on the Beach. This Manhattan Media magazine, which counts weekly Hamptons freebie Dan’s Papers as a sister publication, is as close to The New Yorker as a serious vacationer should get. Editor Daisy Prince goes deep with a Janet Allon penned piece on cover boy Andrew Lauren (eldest son of Ralph), whom she designates “America’s Most Eligible Bachelor.” Who knew the dour public face of Ralph Lauren Purple Label had such a winning personality? Or that his accomplishments as a movie producer include “The Squid and the Whale” and “The Spectacular Now”? It’s all there and then some — a little too much, perhaps — in the 12 page spread. The issue also reprises Montauk lore about the Rolling Stones’ 1975 stay. Readers of a certain age may recall those five weeks when, to prepare for its “Tour of America,” the band took over the seaside estate then owned by Andy Warhol and Paul Morrissey. A song even came out of it. “Memory Motel” features a rundown Montauk lodge and a woman named Hannah — described, lyrically, as “a peachy kind of girl.”

Christine Schwarzman hosted a bash for Avenue Magazine’s October issue at her 740 Park Ave. home Monday, while her hubby, Blackstone Group CEO Stephen Schwarzman, traveled in China.
A spy said he’s been heading there frequently for wheeling and dealing, but he’d return for the New York Film Festival premiere of the Robert Redford movie “All Is Lost,” produced by Schwarzman’s son Teddy.
Spotted were Avenue editor Daisy Prince and cover girl Diana Taylor, David Koch, David Ganek, Vera Wang, Pete Peterson, Barry Diller, Carolina Herrera and Barbara Walters. Taylor told guests she and Michael Bloomberg will take a vacation after his reign, but was mum about his next move.

Advertising guru Richard Kirshenbaum and his wife, Dana, threw open their Fifth Avenue duplex to celebrate Avenue magazine’s March cover boy, music legend Chris Blackwell.
The Island Records founder — who put out the music of Bob Marley and U2, owns Ian Fleming’s Jamaica compound, GoldenEye, and launched Blackwell Black Gold rum, at 72, with Kirshenbaum — showed the Manhattanites how to party as reggae played, jerk chicken was served and his signature booze flowed.
Spotted enjoying the bash were Avenue’s Daisy Prince, David Lauren, Lexi Bowes-Lyon, Helena Gautier, Max McGuinness, Jessie Fortune Ryan, Priscilla Zoullas and Alexis Theodoracopulos.
