In the News: Sex Diaries meets Tribeca

SEX DIARIES FROM A FRATTY LOFT PARTY
I never actually believe the stories in New York Magazine’s “Sex Diaries” series, but maybe that’s not the point. Here’s the latest one, from a 25-year-old model and actress: “It started at a fratty loft party in Tribeca. We drank a bit. Someone had blow. We were hanging with bankers who were boring but decently okay humans. I liked one guy, who I’ll call T since he vaguely resembled Timothée Chalamet. Needless to say, this was the guy I fucked in a different Tribeca loft much later in the night. From what I can remember, T was pretty lackluster in bed, but he was fun and actually pretty sweet. He Ubered me home when I said I was ready.”

COASTAL RESILIENCY OVERVIEW
Gothamist has an excellent citywide overview of the different coastal resiliency projects going on by photojournalist Nathan Kensinger, and it’s a big downer. It includes East River Park and Wagner Park, as well as the Rockaways and other beachy spots.

BATARD X GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS
The Post has a silly (but I still read to the end) story of a NJ man who ate his way through 18 Michelin-starred restaurants in Manhattan in order to secure a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records and it included a quick meal of steak tartare at Bâtard. “Finkelstein recognized that speed-eating is far from the ideal way to experience a dish at the city’s best dining establishments. ‘Turning Michelin-starred restaurants into fast food, you’re kind of going against the spirit of what they’re doing,’ he said. The restaurants’ staff, however, were tickled by the indulgent challenge, many cheering on their unorthodox guest like a marathon runner.”

VUORI COMING TO SOHO
Gotham reports that the athleisure brand Vuori is setting up at 106 Spring Street at Mercer.

  1. I’m curious how a story like that even gets published. A young model doing coke and finance guys in NYC? How original!

  2. Re; Coastal Resiliency

    While I applaud efforts to create a more resilient coastline, I question these methods which are, as you said, spots. All of the areas surrounding these isolated spots slated for resiliency will suffer. A wholistic approach is the only approach.
