Netti’s: Where The Preppies Go to Mate
By BankersBall on May 7, 2007 in Lifestyle, NYC
Bought yourself a new pair of patchwork shorts but have nowhere suitable to wear them?
Never fear, Bar Martignetti is here. And in a big, big way. The NYT profiles the new it bar/restaurant for anyone who empathizes with this sentiment:
“[J]ust because you went to Princeton doesn’t mean you’re a jerk.” (Theodore Cleary, i-banker and Netti frequenter)
But it’ll take more than Princeton to make you feel at home here. Anyone who is short, likes drinks with Red Bull, plays the singles scene fast and loose, and does not appreciate the likelihood of running into fellow prep-school alums need not go.
Defying that short list in almost every way (guess which!), we went to Netti’s in April on a slow night — apparently it gets going at 11pm — and thought the food was OK. They were out of lobster, which ruined the whitewashed Nantuckety feel of the place, but oh well.
The New Yorker summarizes the scene in another way: “The venue is perfectly pitched to a late-twenties crowd that seems as standardized as the setting. He: financial services, gym, bed head, shirt undone to second button, a beer, steak frites. She: publicity, tanning bed, “blond,” chunky belt slung to one side, specialty cocktail, chicken salad.”

Dear Hippies,
Get the fuck out. Go back to your parental subsidized rat hole. Continue to sneer, because you just were too lazy to put the effort out.
