Discover the Excitement of Page Six’s Star-Studded Celebration!

On a lively Wednesday evening, celebrities, influencers, and tastemakers gathered at Ray’s Hometown Bar located on the vibrant Lower East Side of New York City for a spectacular collaboration celebration hosted by Page Six. This buzzing event was not only a gathering of the city’s elite but also a showcase of creativity and flair, with guests enjoying an atmosphere filled with excitement and energy.

The VIPs at this energetic event, sponsored by Jose Cuervo and Great Jones Distilling Co., were seen reveling on the exclusive lower level of this trendy venue, indulging in a delightful array of signature craft cocktails and mouthwatering bar bites that perfectly complemented the festive atmosphere.

Among the notable guests were stars from “The Real Housewives of New York City,” Jessel Taank and Rebecca Minkoff, alongside “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Jennifer Fessler, Food Network personality Anne Burrell, and podcast host Sofia Franklyn, all contributing to the glamorous atmosphere of the soirée.

The venue was adorned with themed Page Six decor, featuring a vibrant pink neon sign that boldly proclaimed “Page Six Famous,” along with customized cocktail napkins, branded matchboxes, and pillows that enhanced the celebratory feel of the evening.

Sofia Franklyn, the host of “Sofia with an F,” was observed exploring the unique cocktail menu, which boasted creative selections like a Jose Cuervo margarita served in a disco ball tumbler and a Great Jones straight bourbon (W)hiskey (T)ango (F)oxtrot. Meanwhile, Anne Burrell, aged 55, took advantage of the stunning backdrop, striking poses in the iconic shag carpet-covered stairwell that led to the private party area.

Numerous content creators, including fitness influencer Isaac Boots and TikTok stars Audrey Jongens and Maeghan Radice from “The VIP List,” were seen capturing the moment in front of the eye-catching neon sign in this exclusive setting, showcasing the event’s appeal to social media influencers.

Meanwhile, podcaster Taylor Strecker enjoyed mingling with Minkoff, 43, and Taank, 45, even posing for an Instagram-worthy snapshot with the dynamic duo, further emphasizing the event’s strong social media presence.

Guests eagerly indulged in delicious french fries and sliders from the innovative dinner menu curated by Michelin-starred chefs Jeremiah Stone and Fabian von Hauske, making for a culinary experience that delighted all attendees.

Partygoers were also spotted wearing exclusive Ray’s x Page Six trucker hats, which launched just days before the event and are now available for purchase through the venue’s online store, adding a trendy element to their outfits.

Fessler, 54, was seen enthusiastically flaunting the stylish grayscale cap while enjoying herself around the venue, embodying the vibrant spirit of the celebration.

She engaged in lively conversations with Page Six’s “Digital Reali-Tea” co-hosts Danny Murphy and Evan Real, in addition to Minkoff and Taank, showcasing the event’s dynamic social interactions.

“As a New Yorker for 25 years, each time I leave the city and see a copy of Page Six, it feels like I’m at home,” shared Carlos Quirarte, co-owner of Ray’s. His sentiment reflects a deep connection with the city and the vibrant culture that Page Six embodies.

“This feeling ties me to the city I call home, and it’s the same energy we aim to recreate when guests walk into Ray’s. It’s synonymous with New York — just like the Page Six we all know and love,” he continued, emphasizing the importance of maintaining that unique New York vibe.

Quirarte, who mingled with his loyal patrons, affectionately known as “Raygulars,” throughout the evening, previously offered Page Six an exclusive tour of the bar, sharing captivating stories of A-list visitors, including Lady Gaga, Dua Lipa, Jimmy Kimmel, Zach Bryan, Justin Theroux, Zoë Kravitz, and Post Malone, highlighting the bar’s fame and allure.

This dark and moody hangout in the heart of the Big Apple, supported by “Succession” actor Nicholas Braun, has become a magnet for a cool clientele, eschewing the growing trend of exclusive members-only venues in Manhattan.

“Everything feels like it’s becoming a private club or heading that way, but Ray’s creates a familiarity that’s comforting to people,” Quirarte explained, reflecting on why high-profile guests are drawn to this casual yet chic hotspot.

Founded by Quirarte alongside his Genuine Hospitality partners Matt Kliegman and Matthew Charles in 2019, Ray’s boasts a dive-bar ambiance characterized by retro finishes and charmingly kitschy decor, making it a unique destination in New York City.
