Someone has harsh words for Vanity Fair Editor-In-Chief Graydon Carter. So he flew to Bermuda on a private jet on the day lay-offs happened at his magazine. What’s the big deal? More»

Anna Wintour doesn’t just have the fashion world falling down to worship every ounce of pavement her stilletos stomp over…she has this entire little city by her pinky finger. Case in point, this interesting tweet from Frank Bruni’s (the NYT’s famous ex-food critic) Twitter. See below…  More»

New York shops take their holiday window decorations seriously. And while the ornate, tourist trapping displays won’t arrive for another month or so, we can all get our fix through Sunday, October 25th with art.party.theater.company’s living, breathing installations at Chashama (112 West 44th Street).

As Doug Marshall alerts us on Twitter, “the Walgreens at 14th Street had a prominently displayed sign that they are completely out of Plan B.” Wow, New York; wow. So what could be the cause of this sudden demand for back-up birth control? While the elegant Princess Grace Awards Gala might at first seem too elegant an event to be the cause, remember that Prince Albert of Monaco has had TWO KIDS out of illicit trysts, something he probably doesn’t want to repeat. Also, all those CMJ afterparties are bound to lead to some ill-advised (un?)romantic entanglements. More»

Step away from The Learning Annex! Sure, this famed bastion of New York learning can teach you “How To Be Naturally Thin With Bethenny Frankel” or “How To Make Money With Vending Machines“.

LEARN TO USE A POTTERY WHEEL

It probably won’t be as sexy as the famed scene from Ghost, but it’s still pretty cool to make a pot on a potter’s wheel. Mud Sweat & Tears offers classes for all levels, and even studio rentals for the really advanced potters. You can make everyone bowls for Christmas!

Editor’s Note: Today marks the first day of our newest addition to Team GofG: Billy Gray. As an ex-Harvard Swimmer, it was obvious what one of his first assignments would be: Telling us where the straight Harvard graduate males spend their free time in NYC. Ladies, you’re welcome:

The old joke goes that you can always tell a Harvard man, but you can’t tell him much. Maybe, but outside of Cambridge and barring a varsity sweater, most Harvard guys tend to fade into the background to an oversized ego-deflating degree. Still, for many single women the allure of the Harvard man endures. Below are some watering holes favored by Crimson alums: More»

Update: Cosmos hottest bachelor post! Today I am following (check out the first pic!) the winning Cosmo 50 hottest bachelors (one from each state) around NYC and, for better or worse, I hope to gain a bit more insight into just what makes these men such great candidates for the list. In honor of this big day, we decided to put together our own “Hottest Bachelor List” that would be NYC specific. This, of course, was a daunting task. We have spent hours scouring over suggestions and bios and photos.  Alas, we have, through careful calculations, picked 10 of our favorite New York City Bachelors for this fall. Some you may recognize, others may be new to you, we hope you enjoy getting to know them as much as we have…. More»

There is a huge fight going on in tumblr land on the meanings/connotations of certain NYC area codes. Which area code gives you more cred? 212? 917? 347? 718? etc. It’s almost like we’re discussing Amex cards (green IS the new black, you know?) Let’s take a look at what some of our Manhattan friends think about these area codes, starting with Fame Game’s Ryan Brown:

“In terms of “meanings”, for people living here “212” is a prime number since it is associated with Manhattan and business. To have a “212” here meant that “you made it”. “718” is more like the “second class, bridge and tunnel” person…. you’re in NYC but you’re in the outerboroughs. More»

Every so often, the dancers celebrating “The Cult of the Cupcake” make an appearance in the West Village to sing about the so-called, “cupcake mania,” or the lines and love surrounding Magnolia Bakery. Just such a show occurred yesterday, to the enjoyment tourists and locals. More»
