'The rest…'

We at Naked Apartments are all about having you find an apartment on your terms. But we know what you do once you get that apartment is your business. In the spirit of individuality, check out the four following videos featuring the secret lives of New York apartment dwellers. We’re not asking questions… Plus, submit [...]

It’s possible you missed it. It’s possible you don’t care. It’s possible that Jacob has come back to life as Sayid! You know what else is possible? Getting kicked out of a bar that has reached maximum capacity due to the premiere of a TELEVISION SHOW! What?! (Bars are for drinking silly bitches!) Well it [...]

Last week two friends managed to lure me out of my apartment and back into the city. The thought of stepping outside my door and hemorrhaging money was enough to make me want to burrow deeper into the sofa and continue my marathon viewing of The Wire on DVD. This is New York after all. [...]

The Japanese half of my background reined much of my upbringing—well, sort of, at least the culinary effects were strongly felt. My mother’s mother would drive her silver diesel Mercedes from the strawberry land of Oxnard, CA, and unload countless trays of food from her trunk: big pot of teriyaki short ribs, rolls of futomaki [...]

“This is a robbery you mutherf*cker!” That’s what popped into my head as I imagined my friends robbin’ and stealin’. I imagined Becky (names have been changed for this story) holding a gun to the bathroom attendant while Nancy (names have been changed for this story) rummaged through the bathroom looking for the loot, cursing [...]

While the move may seem semi-sacrilege, it seems to be luring in tons of holiday shoppers (the store was packed to the brim all weekend). If only Chris Farley was [...]

I have to admit that I haven’t been cooking as much as I’d like these days.  I’ve been traveling and dealing with starting a new job part time.  My fiancée and I will be relocating to Portland, OR at the end of next month, where I’ll start full time with the Oregon Wine Board. On [...]

You’d think that because I spend less and I eat less, that I’d have no choice but to weigh less. You’d think I’d be walking around (this isn’t going to be PC) like a barefoot and bloated third-world baby. Not so. Some of us it turns out are pre-disposed to slow metabolisms that require huge [...]

Here’s the thing. This week the rent check bounced, in a few weeks the ivy league is going to want its money, two days from now I have to pay the credit card bill and tomorrow I lose money again when I pay for my unlimited metro pass because getting from Brooklyn to Manhattan is [...]
