Where are the Ivy Leaguers hanging out in Manhattan? -- the 30 and 40-somethings.
By "Ivy Leaguers," I'm referring to graduates of the eight Ivies, as well as from MIT, Duke, Stanford, Johns Hopkins, or any of the preeminent, upper crust institutions of higher learning in America. Or in England (Oxford, Cambridge, etc.).
Yes, I realize most of them are quite busy with high-powered jobs, spending their wealth, making jaunts out to the Hamptons, moving and shaking their way through life in closed circles, and solving the world's problems (and unintentionally creating new ones – or intentionally). But when they are out on the town in Manhattan, what spots and places do they frequent? Are there places that effectively serve as unofficial Ivy League watering holes or eateries, for instance?
And where do the few Ivy Leaguers who aren't so busy with real jobs and high society hanging out? You know, the ones content to live off their trust funds, or as urban monks, artists & writers, and philosophers out of a Manhattan broom closet or perhaps less humble digs for some of them.
I generally see them at alumni, charity, and work-related functions, held at private venues, and at high brow cultural events. Those I know personally do not live in Manhattan and some portion of their socializing is done in the suburbs and/or out of town.

Elite grads are a dime a dozen in New York. They're absolutely everywhere, including many in comparatively low-end jobs. I know a Yalie who teaches yoga, a Harvard grad who waits tables (he's also very fine actor) and a secretary who went to Vassar. It's not just the stereotypical banker/lawyer jobs that most people assume, although there are plenty of those as well.
You want to know where the elite playground is? It's Manhattan, south of 96th Street (with parts of Brownstone Brooklyn).

Very true. I know quite a few Ivy and Seven Sister grads who work in higher education and the arts.
