For the last few Wednesdays, a certain fashionable crowd has descended on Chloë 81, an underground bar on Ludlow Street. The party, called “The Ivy,” is hosted by Mike Townsend and Jared McHugh Flint, who threw the first one in September to celebrate the end of Fashion Week with their friends. It’s now virtually impossible to get in.
