Ladies, you can stop looking for love in all the wrong places. Town & Country magazine has named the ridiculously successful Brasserie 19 as one of the top watering holes in the country to land a rich husband. And well it should be, perched as it is on the edge of River Oaks, home to scores of gazillionaires.

B-19, as regulars call it, joins such heady company as the Caribou Club in Aspen. No surprise there, as any husband-hunting gal with a penchant for private jets and sables knows that's where the dough boys sip their 25-year-old Macallan while looking for 25-year-old babes.

Big D made the list. "Dallasites know that the chicest place to congregate after a black tie ball or Cowboys game is The Mansion Bar at the Mansion on Turtle Creek." In New York, it's Bemelmans Bar at the Carlyle Hotel and in Los Angeles, the Tower Bar at the Sunset Tower Hotel.

Town & Country style writer Sarah Bray provides no intel on how she chose "The Best Bars and Clubs To Meet a Rich Husband." 

B-19 regulars know that a perch at the bar or a place on the ever-popular patio is prime seating for seeing-and-being-seen. Now whether all those snazzy guys with roving eyes actually have a black AmEx in their alligator wallets is another story. Because as Bray's subtitle reads, "This is a decent strategy until Tinder tells you how much he makes."
