A Night Celebrating Jay McInerney

Emily Ratajkowski, Eric Ripert, Cynthia Rowley, and others gathered at the Odeon in Tribeca to celebrate Jay McInerney’s new novel and the launch of his AIR MAIL column

In Woody Allen’s 2011 film, Midnight in Paris, Owen Wilson’s character, a floundering writer, travels back in time to the Paris of the 1920s, where he meets Gertrude Stein, F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, and Ernest Hemingway.

Guests passing through the doors of the Odeon on Monday night experienced something similar. “It’s like 1982 all over again!,” Grove Atlantic president and publisher Morgan Entrekin pronounced gleefully. Inside, Jay McInerney, who immortalized the Tribeca brasserie in his 1984 novel, Bright Lights, Big City, held court among the mass of well-wishers invited by AIR MAIL editor Julia Vitale to celebrate the final installment of his Calloway tetralogy, See You on the Other Side, and the debut of his new wine column for Air Mail, the Last Vice.
