As an outpost of the London Le Caprice, in the same stable as fellow London hotspots The Ivy and Annabel&#146;s, the celeb contingent makes sense.

Gadhafi, Gaddafi, al-Qaddafi...whichever name you want to call Mr. Moammar of Libya, none of them will be allowed to bunk down at Manhattan's swank Pierre Hotel during his time in NYC for United Nations functions. Apparently of all the luxury hotels in New York, Gadhafi and his retinue had set their sights on the luxe Upper East Side hotel on Central Park as his headquarters in New York, but after complaints from current guests (paying four figures a night, so they should have such a say), the hotel turned him away.

The fashionistas are here! It’s official: New York Fashion Week has begun. And, frankly, the sight of all those models and rack-thin fashion editors makes us hungry. So to console ourselves, we compiled this nifty little list of upcoming hotel nosh spots that we’re already salivating over. Consider it the perfect culinary companion to our “September Issue” list of 10 Hot New York City Hotel Openings.

Young kids don't want the likes of us around them, trying to get into their groove thang with our beepers and our Cross Colors shortalls. (See, we just dated ourselves.)
