The long anticipated cab sharing program is about to launch…
If you’re too posh for a bus, but too cheap for a cab, NYC has a plan for you. Specially marked cabs will be departing from locations all over the city and are designed for multiple fares. That means when you go to hail a cab, there may already be someone all warm and cozy in the back.
Check out some live footage from Ke$ha’s V-Day performance at NYC’s Webster Hall on Saturday, Feb. 13th, 2010!
We (Chunky and The Guy on the Couch) got some drinks after the show tonight and rode the 3 train home with this guy…
It’s Friday, celebrate, have fun, have food, have beer, have chocolate! This weekend is all about indulging the senses, so start indulging!
If you’re like me and spent all of yesterday in doors, looking out windows and longing to be outside you may need a little emergency entertainment tonight.
No worries, the city is here to take care of that cabin fever and get you back to your real life, your fun life. Here are some suggestions for re-integrating into society:
Guys (and ladies, if you’re interested) – if you need a good excuse to go to the strip club this week, look no further. Amy Fisher, aka The Long Island Lolita will be stripping at Scene Restaurant & Lounge in Commack, Long Island through Saturday. A portion of her earnings will go toward helping the people of Haiti after last week’s earthquake.
Fisher was released from prison recently, after serving seven years for shooting Mary Jo Buttafuoco in the face back in the day. The then teenage Fischer was having an affair with Mary Jo’s husband Joey. The couple has since divorced.
In an effort to make an honest living, Amy has recently launched a porn site and has been on a countrywide stripping tour all year.
I can’t make this stuff up. There you have it, if you want to “donate” some funds to Haiti, head to Commack. Amy will be happy to help you be a better person.

Poor tourist…
A Delaware man thought a night at New York’s famous Hustler Club would be the perfect addition to his vacation. Unfortunately, he got screwed… but not the way I suppose he imagined he would.
Gerard Wall, 39, hit up the club, got two drinks and sprang for a $300 lap dance. He doesn’t remember anything that happened after that. When he woke up the next morning he saw he was missing $80 from his wallet and $21,620.60 worth of charges on two of his credit cards.
Wall is suing the Hustler Club, but seeing as how he admits he doesn’t remember the night in question it should make for a pretty interesting deposition.
Silly Delaware guy, don’t you know you should only bring cash to strip clubs, when the money runs out the panties go back on… and your credit score is safe to play another day.

Depending on where you’re spending your night tonight, you may be pleasantly surprised by a free (or mostly free) cab ride home, courtesy of Diddy and CIROC Ultra Premium Vodka.
They have teamed up to distribute over 13,000 debit cards for $15 to New Year’s partiers in high traffic celebration efforts. Diddy says “As the ‘Official Vodka of New Year’s Eve,’ we have a responsibility to remind everyone to get home safely on this most celebratory of nights.”
New Year’s is notoriously the hardest night to catch a cab, and it looks like things are going to get more competitive. Sharpen your elbows folks, tis time to get your cab wave and whistle on.
I know some people who are really psyched about this, the people that clean up the subway the morning after. Yeah, I wouldn’t want that job on January 1st.
Even if you are catching a ride home courtesy of the artist formerly known as Puff Daddy, I feel responsible to remind everyone to drink responsibly.

Have a Happy New Year Everyone!
There’s a lot of pressure to have an AMAZING New Year’s Eve, so it’s understandable that you’re scouring the internet right now, searching for the perfect party, the perfect outfit, the perfect kiss…well, let’s hope you don’t need the internet for that one. There are a lot of things to consider before deciding on the perfect party.
——————–
Budget:
How much you want to spend dictates a lot about how and where you can ring in the New Year. Of course you can stand outside in the freezing cold, wearing a diaper and listening to Dick Clark in Times Square for free, but if you’re interested in a warmer, more bathroom friendly introduction to 2010 you’ll either go out or stay in.
If going out is your plan New Year’s Eve parties can set you back upward of $200, but there are good deals available. Most parties include an open bar in their cost, but some don’t, and you can usually find something with added value by way of food, or entertainment.
Age Requirement:
Under 21? Your options are smaller but there’s still plenty to do. Most clubs don’t blatantly advertise that they welcome the >21 crowd for fear of scaring off agists, but no worries, they still want your money. Start making calls early to find out which venues are 18+ friendly.
Proximity to Your bed:
You’re not thinking about it now, but later, when you’re contemplating how long a cab ride you can stand before tossing your cookies it becomes a serious consideration. Look for parties near home, hotel, or friends couch. New Years is the most cab heavy night of the year meaning you may be standing on a street corner freezing your patootie off for a while.
Romantic or Rager:
Very few nights are both, so if you’re looking for an excuse to get drunk and hook up with random strangers in a bar bathroom, candle lit clubs probably aren’t the right scene for you.
———————–
There are tons of sites available to help you weed through all the New Year’s offers out there. There’s pretty much a club out there for everything. If you want to spend the whole night in “Bed”, or hope to be environmentally friendly, or want to harness your inner sexy bowler. Of course there are a lot of parties in between, it’s just a matter of finding the right fit, which of course could mean chilling with friends in an Astoria apartment, or cuddling up next to your special friend on the couch.
No pressure, just a happy 2010!

MoVA:
In the meantime if you’re looking to get your blood curdling, hit up the brand new Museum of Vampyric Artifacts complete with haunted house. The Museum of Vampyric Artifacts just opened its doors in NoHo. Much like it’s vampy theme, the museum is one thing by day and another by night. During the day MoVA is a regular ole museum, with guided tours, artifacts and exhibits that make you wonder if vampires are actually real. (Disclaimer: No. They are not. Robert Pattinson is just really pale.)
At night the museum changes themes, once the sun goes down the exhibit goes live and transforms into a haunted house, in fact it turns into New York’s annual gigantor Nightmare Haunted House-yup, that’s the one with all the posters in the subway.
This year all the entertainment is human, so no more worries about rats being let loose at your feet. Give me some candy corn and a ticket and I think I’m all set for Halloween this year. Are you goingg?
Vampire Nightmares @ NOHO Event Center
