Usually there's one New York incident per summer that reigns supreme as the ultimate drunken gaffe, but the bar has already been set pretty high this year, and it's only June. So far we have the summer who got allegedly got drunk and belligerent at a firm cocktail hour, stumbled onto the street and picked a fight with the chance-encountered posse of a former cast member of Saturday Night Live. And of course there's the haymaker: a summer from a renowned white shoe palace took full advantage of the free-flowing booze at a Chelsea Piers Multifirm Event, in which masses of eager summer associates and old school partners from the city's top firms circled and shmoozed in all their tipsy Brooks Brothers glory. In the heat, our inebriated heroine decided the situation called for a swim, so she removed her dress and shoes, politely inquired if anyone wanted to join her, and leapt from the pier into the cool, refreshing, raw sewage-filled Hudson. I was not in attendance, but I would sign over my next paycheck for close-up shots of the horrified partner faces as her drunken panty-clad ass hit the slimy water.
