New York Magazine Looks Back on 40 Years of Parties

New York's anniversary issue

Throughout 2008 New York magazine has celebrated its 40th year in publication, culminating this week in a commemorative issue. Among the retrospective features in the magazine and on its Web site is a photo gallery of iconic New York parties from the last four decades.

Images of Andy Warhol, Patti Smith, John F. Kennedy Jr., Diane Von Furstenberg, and Kanye West help illustrate the evolution of the city’s late-night scene with glimpses of long-shuttered venues like the original Studio 54, the Palladium, and the Empire rink. One photo of Elton John and Ann-Margret recalls the premiere party of Tommy, held in a subway station.

Parties seem to always be high in New York’s priorities. Another major initiative of the magazine this year, and of New York Media's new event division, is an ambitious series of concerts, auctions, and public events strung together under the label of “Forty Nights.” MORE >>

New York Mag's Sona Hacherian Talks About Bringing an Editorial Perspective to Events

New York Media's Sona Hacherian

This year is a big one for Sona Hacherian, executive director of creative and marketing services at New York Media, the parent company of New York magazine. Between the weekly's 40th anniversary and the launch of the company's own event division—the aptly named New York Events—Hacherian and her team have already produced more than a dozen parties, concerts, and other initiatives in 2008.

Still on tap for the year are several major consumer programs, a hush-hush anniversary fete in October, and more affairs falling under the umbrella of “Forty Nights,” the magazine's 40-event celebration in honor of the milestone. Hacherian took some time last week to talk about what she has taken on so far, and what's still on her plate for the rest of the year.

What are some of the bigger initiatives that New York Media tackled so far this year, and what do you still have in store?
The New York Weddings Showcase happened on April 2 at Metropolitan Pavilion. The event brought in more than 700 brides-to-be, and we had dozens of photographers, caterers, designers, and industry professionals for them to meet. We also brought back our New York by New York series in May, with the first event of the year at the HighLine Ballroom, [where] Zach Galifianakis hosted indie-rock trivia and Les Savy Fav performed. There was also a premiere for Run Fatboy Run, and partnerships with Brooklyn Museum and the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council. We have another 20-plus events occurring between now and the end of the year, with most of them planned for the fourth quarter. MORE >>
