It is, very possible, to live in New York and feel bored. There is nothing to do. You have nothing to do, there is no excitement, and this city is just not cracked up to what it’s supposed to be. You wish
you were warned.
But that of course, is a choice. You can stay in your apartment and watch movies all night or you can start living your life as a New York City socialite – without being a socialite – or one people are aware of for that matter.
Where’s the best place to have sex in public? Can’t say that I have done that. What? Really? Well, I can’t say that I have done that either. And I swear I asked Brent Gairy, editor of Men’s Lifestyle blog, EuroBRSG and Project Manager at oss-usa.com, questions that actually had to do with getting out and about in the City. From the Gramercy hotel to overrated neighborhoods, Brent is all about lifestyle and appreciation of this way prevalent, enjoyable place. You’ll read in this informative, honest, and concise interview that this is, essentially – the way he lives.

Best wine you’ve had but didn’t pay for.
Not wine per say, but I walked out of a Club Monaco with a bottle of
Veuve Clicquot.
The best bookstore.
Borders, their discounts are crazy.
A New Yorker when…
That’s tough without sounding cliché. But the fact you can go anywhere
in the world and people know you’re a New Yorker, rather than just an
American. That says a lot.
