AMY SACCO: The Queen of New York City

{New York City} PROFILE: Amy Sacco - The Queen of New York

If Manhattan were a country of its own, Amy Sacco, would surely be its reigning ruler. Sacco embodies everything that the city is known for, excitement, razzle-dazzle, high drama, chic-ness, and lets not forget EXCLUSIVITY.

We say this, and we have never even had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Sacco.

However, she is notorious, it seems that every where we go people are buzzing about the club owner turned restauranteur -- from the Prada store in the middle of nowhere in the West Texas desert town of Marfa to the green room at the Golden Globes; everyone is talking about the magic of Amy Sacco. We have heard so many amazing things about Ms. Sacco that she has become legendary to us -- a true enigma. And after some research hear is what we have learned.

Anybody who is anybody calls Amy a friend. And who would not want to make her acquaintance. Amy Sacco is the owner of famed New York City nightspots Lot 61, Bungalow 8, and the ultra-fabulous restaurant, Bette (named after Amy's own mother.) Over the last couple of years Amy has resurrected New York's nightlife. She has brought back the glamour of exclusivity -- the "thrill" of being a "chosen one." Not since the days of Steve Rubell and Studio 54, have the streets of Manhattan been a buzz about a single individual.

When Amy hosts an event she creates frenzy behind the velvet ropes. People are desperate to experience an evening in the midst of her created environments. She is so current and stays a step ahead of the pack. The Hilton Sisters, Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore, Bill and Hillary Clinton, David Bowie and his supermodel wife Iman are all regulars at Sacco's establishments.

After working as a hostess at several restaurants and nightspots spread throughout Manhattan, Sacco opened her first club, Lot 61, in 1998. Bruce Willis, a friend, was the first celebrity to come to the club. Shortly after Willis began to frequent the nightclub other celebrities flocked to the hot spot. In its opening week, Lot 61 was named the Best Bar in New York by Time Out New York. In 2001, Sacco opened Bungalow 8, which immediately became impossible to get into. It's was so exclusive that even the girls of Sex and the City had trouble getting in. Can you imagine.......Sarah Jessica Parker standing in line trying to get in a Manhattan night club......???? Now, we wait..............and hope.........that one day we will get lucky enough to meet and make the acquaintance of Amy Sacco -- our official candidate for "Queen of the night..................Ms. Manhattan."
