Again, how this didn't work is beyond us. How this didn't work is beyond us, but Marino says a bachelorette group once, um, offered up one of their friends to the bouncers as a means to get in.

DON'T offer up a member of your group as a virgin sacrifice.David Marino, co-owner of South Pointe, once saw a group do just that, and said they were impossible to turn away. While buying a table might not be an immediate ticket in, buying one for your group AND other groups in line will not only get you inside, but turn you into a party philanthropist of Gatsby-like proportions. DO buy tables for groups of random strangers.Fuccio explains, "For some reason, there's always that one person who thinks it's okay to come to Georgica in their beachwear. Just because you dominated paddle ball all day doesn't mean you should dress as such when you go to a club. They're not ignoring you, so just wait your turn. Danny Volk, partner at SL East, says that, even though it may not seem like it, they realize who has been waiting and for how long.

If it's an especially crowded door, don't push your way to the front and get pissy when the doorman doesn't treat you like Hollywood heartthrob Christopher Mintz-Plasse. DO wait for the right moment to speak with the bouncer.

It's not gonna help you gain access any quicker, so keep your brushes with fame to yourself. Your friends might think it's cool that Erica Gimbel from Princesses: Long Island once tweeted you, but Emilio Eliades, general manager of Nammos, and most other doormen, couldn't care less. Sure, it might be weird that you're eating dinner at 6p when nobody gets to the club until 1230a, but hey, early bird gets the worm at the bottom of the tequila bottle! This is the oldest trick in the book, but Antonio Fuccio, co-owner of Georgica, asserts that it works.
