There are a myriad of apps out there with one simple mission- find the right guy or girl for you at that moment in your thought process.  The problem with this is that sometimes it can be hard to navigate the type you are looking for throughout the app, causing it to become frustrating and almost want to give up on finding what you are looking for.  Luckily, a new app called Chappy solves those problems and then some and is poised to be the next big app for gay men to find what they want when they want, in and out of Manhattan.  [Read more…] about Chappy Invites You to Find Mr. Right… Or Mr. Right Now

Old Habits Are Dying Hard: The Death of Browser-Based Games?

by

Do you remember Homestar Runner, RuneScape and Newgrounds? Think back to the days where browser-based gaming rivaled its console counterparts. Days where games didn’t necessarily have to have a storyline to be fun – back to the days where all you had to do was click the mouse and keep a plane from crashing. They were simpler times for sure, but, as it turns out, they haven’t really disappeared, they’ve just moved over to the mobile platform. This has taken a generation that grew up with all of these games and has given them the power to play anywhere. [Read more…] about Old Habits Are Dying Hard: The Death of Browser-Based Games?

The New York Jets Showcase Fun & Interesting Offerings at Upfronts

by

I have always been a bigger fan of the New York Jets than their counterpart (no shade), so naturally I was delighted that I got to spend the day at Met Life Stadium inside the VIP Toyota Club section to celebrate their 2017 Upfronts.  The organization put their best culinary, technology and gameday faces forward where they unveiled what will be new for this football season.

Handcraft Kitchen & Cocktails Provides an Epic Brunch in a Chic Setting

by

I became aware of Handcraft Kitchen & Cocktails through an article I did about the best brunch spots you may not have heard of (see here).  The nearly two year old location has become a bright spot in the Kips Bay area of Manhattan, and after salivating over some of the brunch items that I saw they serve, I knew that I had to hop on the 6 train down there to see what all the fuss was about.  Boy, was I glad that I went.

Gotham West Market Takes the Food Court Concept to Another Level

by

Gotham West Market is on trend for so many different reasons, the primary one being the elevated food court in which they have become known for.  This concept is popping up all over Manhattan, yet the ones that I have tried in the past (see here), tend to be a bit crowded and congested upon arrival.  Gotham West Market on the other hand is spacious and presents a fun and colorful environment where even the pickiest of eaters will find something that they will love to eat and come back for time and time again.
