"Since it opened on a windswept corner in New York's West Village, EN Japanese Brasserie has attracted a cross section of celebrities, artists, designers, musicians, and composers, making it a 'celebrity sanctuary' for two decades."
"Eating in proximity to celebrities does not make oneself a celebrity, but a scene—no matter how superficial—is part of why many are drawn to fame vortices like New York City."
"It was the sexiest, swankiest wake since Alexander the Great's golden sarcophagus, filled with furs and sparkly dresses, marking the last parties of EN before its closure."
"A scene is an amorphous thing; it encapsulates not only celebrities but also the average civilians that make up the rest of the crowd, creating a unique cultural atmosphere."
