They’ll Show You a Hot Time in the City

BRIAN-O-BRIEN

We love just about everything about living in New York (except the rent and the noise and...). Anyway, this city is lousy with hot guys and we found the right man to capture it.

Richard (whose last name is withheld to protect the wicked) just started a blog called Manhattan Men, and it's full of artistic pics of hot guys in various states of undress all over the city. What we love is that he doesn't make them look like something for a photo book, but rather little slices of a secret, dirty gay life that may or may not exist in the Big Apple. Sure, we see plenty of abandoned phone booths, but usually there's a bum peeing in one, not a stud working his peen in one. Yes, it's an idealized version of the city, but the sights, landmarks, and naked gays he captures are what makes us pay the high rent and deal with the noise in the first place.
