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

What do you get when you add Stoli Vodka, GQ magazine, the Misshapes, and a big raw empty space right off the West-side Highway? Hmm, the Stoli Hotel last night. The one off parties the vodka company throws in different cities around the world with the help of magazines and the hippest D.J.s around. Last night we went to the Stoli Hotel to drink in the vibe if you will, and see and what we could see. The enormous line out front was a pretty good indicator that other people had the same idea.
Once inside Stoli was served from about five or six different drink stations. The set up was quite thorough. The “Hotel” had rooms, a spa, and a lounge all filled with the merriment. It may have been a Tuesday night, but the crowd was out in full effect and nobody seemed to be worrying about the next morning”s commitment as Stoli flowed in its various concoctions and folks danced to the music and laughed the night away. Etta took pictures and I stood in the middle of the room drinking up the scene. Check it out.
The party just started to get good the last hour when people got off their phones and got down. It must be a relief to have your blackberry handy at a social event to make you look fashionably bored.
