Sean BakerSean Baker’s latest movie, Prince of Broadway has been hitting up all the film festivals. It was just at Locarno this summer and more recently at Woodstock where it was well-received. Sean shares his thoughts on his last film, “Take Out”, a story based around a Chinese Delivery man, how he came to NYC “right at the end.”, why L.A.ers all look the same, and his 3am karaoke nights in Flushing.
We decided to ask a diverse group of young movers and shakers across the city where they like to hang out. Places that are under the radar, "best kept secrets" if you will. See what they have to say

[Photo via NY Times] City Room reported last night that 32 storefronts with counterfeit goods have been shut down in Chinatown today! Mayor Bloomberg has obtained a restraining order to shut down illegal business in “Counterfeit Triangle,” that treasure trove of fake designer goodies from “Coach” bags to “Fendi” sunglasses. Worth more than one million dollars in street value, the mayor has decreed that storefronts must be replaced by legitimate businesses. Or else.
One half of my mind wonders what has taken THIS LONG for the city to put two and two together. The other half of my mind wonders where those Jersey girls with acrylic nails are going to find their Louis Vuitton bags with that fake leather that looks like plastic tarp, now that they can’t take the train in for a day of Canal Street back room purchasing. Come on, ladies, do you really think a $1,000 purse can be realistically counterfeited for 50 bucks? I take comfort in remembering that school kids will still be able to buy their ten dollar Foakley sunglasses from the guys that wait for buses to pull in by the Statue of Liberty ferry so that they can hawk their wares from beneath their bulky jackets.
Whaaat? I live around here and the only reason friends come to visit me is to buy fake Burberry out of garbage bags. Dumplings aren’t enough to lure ppl to Chinatown.
