Floating vicariously through the lives of a the privileged and beautiful people (and that crass Williamsburg family), in Gossip Girl, you’ve finally found the version of Manhattan you bought into before moving here. But it turns out, all is not real in the lives of Blair, Serena, Chuck, Nate, and Dan. Intern Whitney is Jossip Girl, and she’s gonna break it down for you.

Jossip Girl here. Your one and only source into the scandalous lives of Manhattan's elite … or at least where they work and play.

This week, we spent a Gossip Girl afternoon full of shopping, ice skating and reading on a bench in Central Park. Sounds like a lot of fun, except evening reading in Central Park is an exclusives-only experience.

We began our adventure along 5th Avenue, where we enjoyed some leisurely shopping at Henri Bendel, a favorite among our Upper East Siders. But without Daddy's Centurion, we didn't amuse the employees with our idle curiosity at their luxury items.
