A walk of shame is a rite of passage for every girl... it's just a fact of life. But a good walk of shame story - and we mean a cringeworthy, mortifying, or absolutely shameless walk of shame story - is a rite of passage for every adventurous young woman. Again, it's just a fact of life. And what better (or worse) place to have one than in the city that never sleeps, where there are always witnesses to give you a wink or a side eye because they definitely know what you were up to last night? Here are some wild walk of shame stories from the ladies of New York.
