On any given Saturday night in New York, you’ll find countless crews Ubering and G-training from a restaurant to a club to a dive to a cocktail den to a hippie rave. On this particular one in mid-October, we followed a very particular subspecies of the city’s going-out crowd: a group of Instagram-popular �slash models� (artists-slash-models, writers-slash-models, etc.) as they made their way from dinner in the East Village to a Sophia Lamar�hosted basement bacchanal at Leftfield, to the swank Jane Hotel, to a New Age-y health-and-wellness-themed nightspot known as Body Actualized in Bushwick, picking up friends along the way, shedding others, and encountering one #bachelaurette.
