This is officially the Summer of the Handsome Male Mid. Go outside. Sit at the bar instead of ordering in. Get drunk with the boys. Say yes to the rooftop invite. Talk to the girl in line for coffee. Ask for the number. You’d be shocked how many dudes eliminate themselves before the game even starts. The Handsome Male Mid is having an all-time season.

NYC is the best city in the world. You can leave your apartment at 11 a.m. to grab a coffee… …and somehow it’s now 9pm (won’t be home until 2 am) you’ve made 12 new friends, ended up at 4 different bars, got invited to a random rooftop, and have absolutely no idea how you got there. No other city does that.

If you’re visiting NYC for the first time, these are the MUST DOs: - Coffee at Blank Street - wait in line for Froyo at Mimi’s - Get a slice from Joe’s Pizza - Get a bagel from Ess-a-Bagel - Walk around Times Square to experience authentic NYC culture - Go out to these bars: Phebes, The Spaniard, Hair of the Dog, and Old Mates - Wait 45 minutes for Levain - Download hinge, go on a date & Pay $23 for a cocktail in the West Village - Take a picture in front of the Charging Bull - Rent a Citi Bike and almost get hit by a scooter - Spend an entire afternoon in SoHo buying absolutely nothing Did I miss any NYC essentials?
