MODERATE
Emily Post scions Lizzie Post and Daniel Post Senning are just as manners-obsessed as their great-great-grandmother was. So they started a podcast, Awesome Etiquette, in which they answer listeners’ queries — from what to do at the salon if you don’t feel like talking (tell your stylist that you could use some quiet time and put on your headphones) to how to make amends if you overimbibe and say something you regret to your oldest friend. (Call — don’t text — to apologize. Say you took things a bit too far, you feel bad and you want to make sure you didn’t hurt their feelings.)

MAJOR
Heading to NYC for a weekend? Skip the boozy brunch and hit The Plaza, where legendary finishing school Beaumont Etiquette hosts week end seminars with lessons big and small, like which cheek to air-kiss first (the right one) and how to properly hold a wineglass. Stick around for afternoon tea—pinkies up, of course.
