On Monday night after the Met Gala, there was no shortage of after parties to choose from. The real question was: which party would emerge as the late-night place to see and be seen? There was Willy Chavarria’s party at the Mark Hotel uptown, which benefited from proximity to the museum, as well as the classic Boom at the Standard party, not to mention A$AP Rocky’s party at Jean’s, and parties hosted by Janelle Monáe, LaQuan Smith and a late-night scene at Casa Cipriani that drew the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio and, yes, even New York Mayor Eric Adams.

Downtown in the Financial District at the Water Street Associates building, the creative office hub underscored a work hard, party harder ethos as it hosted the third annual AprèsMet after party along with Alex Consani, stylist Carlos Nazario, model Paloma Elsesser and Luar designer Raul Lopez. The office space was transformed into a club for one night by Water Street Associates, in collaboration with jewelry brand Guzema.

A seven-foot Champagne tower loomed over most guests as they entered the space (for those feeling less bubbly after the long night, Lagavulin scotch was also on offer). Guests stopping by included Stormzy, Delaney Rowe, Myha’la, gymnast Sunisa Lee, Jerry Lorenzo, Maximilian Davis, Lineisy Montero, Vittoria Ceretti and more.
