As if job cuts and lay-offs weren't bad enough, staffers at the New York Times and Time Inc. now have to cope with an even graver injustice: no company-sponsored holiday parties.
Things at the glossies seem to be better. The hot spot this year, according to a list compiled by Fashion Week Daily, is NBC wunderkind Ben Silverman's West Village hangout Socialista, which will host parties for Allure, the Elle Group, and the Vogue Group (Teen Vogue, Men's Vogue, and Vogue Living).
Where the rest of the herd will be getting drunk and doing especially naughty things with co-workers:
Portfolio: Runway
The New Yorker: BBQ joint Hill Country
Vanity Fair: Sidecar at P.J. Clarke's
Travel + Leisure: The Royalton hotel
Condé Nast Traveler: Dell'Anima
