"What is it about expensive members-only places that make for such good chisme? Is it that rich people’s problems tend to be so hilariously low-stakes and specific that you can’t help but laugh at them? Yes. And you can get more of that at Cecconi’s, the allegedly Italian restaurant inside Soho Beach House that’s thankfully open to the chisme-loving public. Some of the bigger tables are isolated, but the two-tops are squeezed close enough to hear someone talk about the Dolphins player they recently matched with, or bemoan the rapidly approaching Soho membership increase that happens when you turn 30." - julia malave, ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
