It's pretty safe to say that when searching for the pulse of New York's social scene, one doesn't have to look much further than the gentrified streets of the LES. Sure, you can hit midtown to shop. And sure you can shmooze at mixers with "old-money", but you'll find nary a Banksy sighting, and even fewer like-minded people (probably because they're all at Off Bowery or The Delancey).
