NEW YORK CITY
So I’m going to New! York! City! in a few days for. What should I do? Usually when I go to NYC I just spin around in Times Square for two or three days, but this time I figure I’d try to take in the sites. There are a lot of museums and stuff? I don’t know.
I’m excited to see some comedy at the UCB Theatre.
I think this visit is kind of scoping out the scene for my eventual move to the so-called “City That Never Eats Apples”: Which neighborhoods do I want to rent an apartment in? And in which neighborhoods should I sleep in the alleys of once I run out of money for that apartment because I have neither job nor wealthy gay benefactor? Where do the writers hang out and perfect their craft–lost souls stoically smoking pencil after pencil and sharpening countless cigarettes in their dingy apartments? Also, I want to find a woman writer to smooch. Also, where does Philip Seymour Hoffman hang out? I just read this profile of him in the NYT magazine and this guy sounds like he’s going places. I’d like to get in on the ground floor.
Anyway, if you were in New York, what would you do?

go to the Cloisters (take the A to 190th). go have fish and chips at A Salt & Battery (greenwich ave btw 7th and 8th). the rich gays are only a couple blocks west and south or west and north of AS&B. wear a pink polo and big sunglasses. affect an accent.

I know what I’D do if I were back in that blessed “city that never goes to bed.” I would go to the ORCHARD CORSET, a ladies lingerie shoppe that is in some basement in Manhattan. You walk in, the lady behind the counter feels your boobs, and then they fit you with THE PERFECT BRASSIERE, and you don’t have any say in the matter. It was one of the best experiences of my life, and also the cheapest bra I have ever purchased. Alas, now said bra is rotting away and I was too cheap to purchase a dozen, and when, oh when, will I be back in “the Windy City” again?????

the most important and essential sites to visit whilst you are in new york probably are the colosseum and chicken fights.

I saw eight chicken fights. Also, Ritchey, I don’t know ‘the heck you talking about with this women’s underwear bullcrap. I already got my fix at Victoria Secret’s semi-annual (bi-annual?) sale thing.
