How To Stay Cool in the City When It’s Hotter Than the Underside of Your Gramma’s…

Ever taken a ride on the Rank Express? If you’re a New Yorker, you have. It’s the one car on seemingly every subway train (usually toward the end) that doesn’t have air conditioning. And it’s always a surprise, isn’t it? There you are on the platform, sweatin’ like a whore

Times Square to Become Bubble Battle Central This Saturday

Glinda arrived via bubbles. Bert and Ernie got groovy (when the cameras stopped rolling, of course) with a bath full of bubbles. And the late Michael Jackson used to wear Bubbles like a backpack. (Yeah, I know one of those is not like the others, but this isn’t the SATs.

This New Literary Magazine is a Gift to the People of San Francisco

I’ve got some awesome news! We received a grant from the Civic Joy Fund to put out a literary magazine celebrating SF and acting to counter the stupid “Doom Loop” narrative. It’s a gift to the people of San Francisco. And after months of working on this project it’s now available

Make Money in New York City Even When You Don’t Have a Pot to Piss In

If there’s one thing that’s true about New Yorkers, it’s that we’re resourceful. It’s not easy living in this city – and it’s sure as hell not a cake walk trying to make ends meet. The ever-escalating cost of rent, food and public transportation is killer. And those are just

Yoga to the People: Pay-What-You-Can Yoga in the East Village

A few years ago – at a gym to which I was indebted for two years but only went once a week, if that (complete waste of money, but it paid for itself with the BJs I got in the steam room. Holla!) – I took advantage of a yoga

Attention Bank of America customers: Whatever beef you have with the red-white-and-blue financial institution, squash it. At least for a couple days here and there.

Get Your Geek on at LED Lightsaber Battle NYC

I’m drug-free these days, but if I were still hopped up on ecstasy this would be fucking awesome! That’s not to say that you should pollute your mind and body with unknown chemicals, however. Because you shouldn’t. They’re dangerous, they’re deadly, and Nancy Reagan still wants you to just say

FREE Dinner and Dessert at Bailout Theater

Yep, it sounds too good to be true. But it ain’t. Bailout Theater – which will feature the comedic stylings of Isaac Oliver and friends, a “Deliverance”-esque banjo performance by the talented Alex Mallett, and a verifiable smorgasbord of local delicacies (as well as questionable dishes brought to you by

Celebrate Your NYC Birthday with a Shit-ton of Freebies

Twenty-nine years ago today, an angel descended from the heavens to bestow upon this earth a boy of unequivocal wit, humor and conceit. You should’ve seen him. Big, bright eyes. Rosy cheeks flush with innocence. A smooth, pinchable ass. And while those first two characteristics have evaded that boy in
