HBO’s ‘Industry’ brought the party from the NYSE trading floor to a private screening in Brooklyn.
The after party featured caviar bumps, SternTao merch, and a DJ set from Charli XCX’s pal, The Dare.
Actors, influencers, and New York’s young literati drank and danced together. The vibes were immaculate.

To borrow a phrase from HBO’s “Industry,” you have to let a journalist fulfill her function. Here’s my not-so-typical Thursday evening from Wall Street to the warehouse district of East Williamsburg with the cast of the hit show.

3:30 p.m.: Went from the office to the red carpet to catch the cast of ‘Industry’ ring the closing bell

Myha’la swung the mallet to close the day of trading.

7:30 p.m.: After a dinner break, I headed to Brooklyn for a private screening of the show’s fourth episode of season four …

… which was promptly followed by caviar bumps and Jell-O shots. This is ‘Industry,’ after all.

And ran into influencer Kelley Heyer, who went viral for creating the ‘Apple’ dance in 2024.
