Parkside Lounge wasn’t going to open until 5:30 p.m., but the dive bar on Houston Street will make an exception for Kathleen “Kick” Kennedy. “They actually said they’d let me in it at 4:30,” texts Kick, the eldest daughter of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “Let’s say 4:45, cool?”

The staff is still sitting around drinking beer when she walks in off the street at ten of, wearing a vintage fringed, beaded suede jacket over a ripped T-shirt. She takes off a large pair of sunglasses and apologizes for canceling our last meeting. “I got a flat leaving Hyannis Port,” she says. “We had a 120-pound Gordon setter and my dachshund in the car. I risked it on a doughnut and drove back. The car ran out of gas at the same time.”
