I wrote 300 words about a strip club for my job.
Last week, I was somehow coerced into attending Hunkomania to review the show for Daily NYC. It wasn’t as awkward as I’d imagined, but I guess hiding behind a notebook helped. The dancers were all very nice and when I made it clear I didn’t want a lap dance, they told me all about how they got into dancing and how they predict divorce parties will become more popular than bachelorette parties and how they want to dispel the myth that dancers are slutty. If you’re planning to go, I hope you like incredibly strong drinks and the overwhelming smell of Axe deodorant.
One of the best parts of my job is that sometimes I get to eat free food. I had appetizers at Pera Soho last night and not only was the food super tasty, but the Mediterranean restaurant has gorgeous outdoor seating: a street-level garden where we ate and a rooftop deck with a great view of midtown.

Recent Daily NYC posts on Gotham Girls Roller Derby (so so fun to watch and I wish I had more time to become a Gotham Girl myself!) and Banc Cafe (cute restaurant where I went with my coworkers last week) are online.
Daily NYC - Books, Events and More at Word Brooklyn
Wrote about my favorite Brooklyn bookstore for work. (Favorite Manhattan one is obviously Housing Works, which I wrote about last fall.) Books, you guys! Read ‘em!
Daily NYC - Drinks With a Side of Pizza at Lulu’s
Lulu’s is great, and not just because I met my boyfriend there.
Over the past few weeks, I’ve written about the hilarious Off-Broadway musical Peter and the Starcatcher; comedy, karaoke and bocce at Union Hall and The Melt Shop’s amazing grilled cheese sandwiches and tater tots for Daily NYC. Check them out!
A few more Daily NYC posts from the past few weeks:
- Waffle & Wolf, a tiny restaurant in Williamsburg that serves waffle sandwiches (!)
- The Meatball Shop, an expanding chain of restaurants featuring mainly meatballs
- Brooklyn Brewery, a great brewery tour and tasting experience in Brooklyn
Recently, for Daily NYC posts, I’ve eaten at sushi lounge Bamboo 52 and Food Network star Guy Fieri’s infamous restaurant Guy’s American Kitchen. I went in not expecting to like either (I’m not a fan of sushi or celebrity chefs), but was pleasantly surprised by both.
