She Comes First - Ian Kerner

Oh to be a cunning linguist, to be fluent in the southern dialect to the language of love. To many speaking of such a subject is taboo, seeking advice or knowledge can be embarrassing and picking up a book based on the subject could be overwhelming, puzzling and confusing to a novice. Ian Kerner writes this helpful book, with clever commentary, insightful advice and most importantly of all… interesting and proven methods and techniques in not just cunnilingus but pleasuring a woman in all forms. I highly recommend this book, it’s a great read and will leave you salivating and hungry whilst reading it.

The Cockpit - Soho NYC

I was strolling down Broadway past Houston St. And I noticed this store, with a section of an airplane in it’s window display. Now, I’ve seen this store plenty times before but at that moment I couldn’t resist the urge to explore what was in there. Lo and behold, I had found a plethora of fine quality military and civilian apparel. The store itself had a charm to it, showing off an obvious knowledge about the military and judging from their clothes racks, that knowledge extends to style. I spent much of my visit hovering over their boots, I was overwhelmed by the unexpectedly amazing selection of boots. I plan on going back to take a better look and to try on their jeans which caught my eye as well. I didn’t leave the store empty handed though, finally found a satchel exactly the way I had envisioned it. Give the store a look, I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.

Crate & Barrel's Bedside Carafe

We all wake up from time to time in the middle of the night thirsty. Most of us have to travel to the kitchen, or go to some lengths to quench that thirst that’s broken your slumber. Often you leave a glass of water by your bedside, but an exposed glass isn’t good. Dust particles and the like can make their way into the glass, or worse… some uninvited guest of the insect kind. Sometimes that one glass just isn’t enough and it doesnt make sense to keep an entire pitcher bedside as well. Also, it’s just not pretty. I recommend Crate & Barrel’s Bedside Carafe, it’s a pitcher AND glass. The Glass acts as the cover and neatly sits atop of it keeping your liquids cool/hot and clean. It’s not so hard on the eyes either when it’s sitting on your nightstand. $19.95? You can’t go wrong.

Le Creuset's New Black Onyx

Le Creuset. You should know this brand of cookware. I highly recommend it. Known for their amazing cast-iron pots and pans and their diligent stainless steel cookware. Also known for their wide variety in colors. Le Creuset has released their new line of Black Onyx options. Same quality and engineering, just in a new luxurious and sleek black color. It’s the holiday season, cooking’s bound to happen wherever you are; make sure it’s all done in a Le Creuset piece. Check out their new cookbook as well set around recipes made with their Mini-Cocottes, the set also comes with four Mini-Cocottes to get you going!

If you need to pick one piece of Le Creuset, I highly recommend their French Ovens.

Eastern European Bistro with a comfy atmosphere.

Klimat is located on East 7th Street within the cozy neighborhood of the East Village. Not only is it my friends and my personal favorite, but if you’re a beer lover like myself, this place will make you feel at home. Not only is their beer selection exceptional, but they also have an exquisite wine collection to pair with their Eastern European fare. Their staff is friendly, attractive and well versed in the menu. The biggest note on Klimat is their atmosphere. It’s small, cozy and comfortable. A perfect date spot. Once you’re in the door look for Mike behind the bar, you can’t miss the dashing Chinese-Australian. If you’re throwing a party, reserve the downstairs Wine Cellar Lounge for a truly cozy experience.

Klimat, it’s Slavic for atmosphere… and over at Klimat, it’s a great atmosphere.

LV Graphite Damier Collection

I’ve been searching for a good wallet, something that holds my essentials (Debit Card, AmEx, Drivers License and Cash). I was with my good friend Lucky at the Greene Street LV store and we ran into this beauty. Compact, sleek, thin, good-sized and honest to god, there’s no way you can make a mess of your contents with it. So if you’re in the market for a new wallet, take a look into it. LV also has many other items in their Graphite Damier Collection worth looking into as well. It’s December, make good use of that bonus gentlemen!

It's all in the fragrance

Cologne? Perfume? Nothing different. They’re both fragrance. Fragrance is a product of marketing. Men often deal with an identity crisis in which they need their manliness to be reassured. Just look at most grooming products, there’s almost always a Men and Women’s branding of one product that essentially performs identically. Deodorant, shaving razors, shampoos, hair dyes. Fragrance should not be a product of masculinity, if you smell good then you smell good. I myself carry two fragrances from Jo Malone and this winter I am currently wearing D&G’s La Roue De La Fortune 10 which is a floral scent. Fragrance is all about personality, Which is why I prefer a consistency amongst my fragrances. I mean… How many personalities do you own? Gentlemen, we all know what a man smells and can smell like… naturally. There’s no designer out there trying to capture that essence. In fact, avoiding that is the whole point. So stop fretting over the marketing side of it all and go back to what’s important. Smelling good.

I’ll be releasing an extensive guide to identifying and purchasing fragrances. Stay tuned!

Mr Hudson

What a great followup album! Mr Hudson delivers an album that cleverly addresses many topics and serves smart lyrics placed upon intriguing melodies. This album is the type that can replay endlessly and seamlessly. While you’re at it, check out Mr Hudson’s previous album: Tale of Two Cities.

I highly recommend the tracks: “Instant Messenger” “White Lies” “Central Park“
