" Not to get all Stefon from Saturday Night Live on you, but we&amp;#039;re just one day into New York Fashion Week and we&amp;#039;re already noticing a new venue that everyone in town would be wise to finagle their way into this week. First, we received the Gilded Age invitation, which had made note that their presentation would be at The Standard East, a place we&amp;#039;d never heard of before. Then, last night, we went to after-party for Andrew Buckler which was, yep, on the penthouse of the same hotel. We knew Andre Bal\u00E1zs had bought the Cooper Square Hotel recently, we just didn&amp;#039;t realize that he would be able to turn it into one of his Standards quite so quickly. In any event, if you&amp;#039;re headed to any fashion events this week, get used to seeing that lobby above. That&amp;#039;s where coat check is. But you might want to hold onto yours \u2014 the best part of the open-bar penthouse, where all the best parties are, is the wrap-around roof deck and the views of the city from the east side (nay, the better side) that come along with it. See you there. PLUS: A Man in His Office, Back When that Office Was the Cooper Square Hotel &amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;gt; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
