"A dolphin surfaced 20 yards from our table last time we were sitting dockside. Even that slippery fellow seemed to be discreetly checking for famous people at the pool. This outdoor spot in The Standard is split between paying members and people who parked half a mile away to avoid the $40 valet. The latter group peeks into the pool through the bushes to see if Alix Earle’s makeup is waterproof, while the former pretends not to care (even though they’re looking hard beneath heavily tinted designer sunglasses). At the end of the day, everyone visits The Standard to feel relevant." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino, julia malave
