Quest

Quest Magazine, for the NYC Social and Real Estate Scene

Filed under: Services

If you are -- or long to be -- part of the NYC social and moneyed scene, Quest is a must-read. Distributed around NYC, seemingly for free (though it has a $5 cover price), this sometimes snooty publication tracks the party scene with pages of pages of photos of dressed-up socialites and tuxedoed men, snapped by editor David Patrick Columbia at fetes and charity events. The magazine occasionally has a feature of some depth but mainly has light articles. For Luxist readers who love our "Estate of the Day" feature, Quest's Web site is great -- it is in magazine format and includes ads. That means you can scan ads featuring home listings in NYC, Connecticut, the Hamptons and so on, plus see ads for high-end jewelry, handbags, clothing, shoes, art galleries, luxury home accessories and cultural events. Click once on the page you want to view to make it bigger. You also can subscribe (tab at top of home page) if you want the hard copy ($36/one year/12 issues or $47.97/two years/24 issues).

More Magazines for Snobs

On Thursday we told you about the Russian tycoon who's planning to launch a new $150 million magazine for snobs, inventively titled Snob, for "people who are successful and those who want to be successful." We included a photo gallery of some of the titles such as Quest already languishing on newsstands that seem to fulfill that bold mission.

As it turns out, our Russian friend is entering a fairly crowded field. Following some suggestions we received, we now present a further assortment of Snob rags for your viewing pleasure.

Warning: subscribing to the full collection of all ten may result in you're being charged under some sort of arcane sumptuary law. Or it should, anyway.
