TheUpperEdge Ahhh, another gorgeous fall day on the Upper East Side.
The children of New York’s old money elite have donned their charcoal grey blazers and headbands and pearls to greet the new school year with aplomb.
The fresh meat scurry up the stairs to the heavy oak doors while the sophomores and juniors mill about the wide sidewalk among the flower vendors and fruit carts.
But all eyes are on this year’s seniors, who congregate like royalty at the fountain.
Behold their majesties: Elle Harrington and Theo Fitzgerald, stuck together like glue.
And there’s Madison DuPont giving Bash Beaumont the brush-off, again.
(Everyone knows Madison doesn’t go for high school boys, even the most charming, dear Bash.)
Welcome back, Prescott. It’s going to be an unforgettable year.
