Manhattan reacted to TruHart1 in Best play you've ever seen?
Back in 2013, on Broadway, I saw one of the funniest comedies I’ve ever seen: “Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike,” a play by Christopher Durang. With a knockout cast of Sigourney Weaver, David Hyde Pierce, Kristine Nielsen, and my first encounter with a very HOT Billy Magnussen (as Spike, who was in tight black underwear and nothing else for practically the entire show!)
I was truly laughing out loud in many parts of the play! In addition, as sort of a topper to a very satisfying theater experience, Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen were sitting a few seats away from me that night!

Late to this party, but I'll add the 2021 NYC production of The Lehman Trilogy, directed by Sam Mendes and starring Simon Russell Beale, Adam Godley and Adrien Lester. The three actors play dozens of characters without costume changes or leaving the stage. It was like simultaneously watching three master classes in acting.

Is it really so difficult for new members to read through posts? There are recommendations on every page.
@Tarte Gogo and @urbanfetish just left great info less than a dozen posts ago.

I'm responding to my own thread just so I don't have to keep seeing Ariana Grande lead the topic.
Death of a Salesman with Brian Dennehy would be one of my tops picks and A View from the Bridge with Anthony LaPaglia would be another. I don't think of myself loving Arthur Miller, but both were great evenings of theater.

Was it really 25 years ago? Fuck me, life does go fast.
I saw that production too and loved it.

Manhattan got a reaction from Callas in Anybody else fall for the men they hire?
You are a true romantic @Callas . Don't lose that.
Some people are more likely to catch feelings than others, but we all do it eventually. I've had crushes on masseurs, dated masseurs, and had purely physical experiences with masseurs. It's all part of the messy joy of human connection.
Be nice to yourself and accept that feelings are an important part of what gives you pleasure. Your emotions will pass so be patient.

I'm happy to be weird.
The holiday season is a great time of year to celebrate weirdness, embrace disagreement, tolerate judgement, and practice not taking things too seriously.
Thank you CompanyofMen for providing space for all that!

Yes, you are weird because you don't like to rim. You are also weird because you feel the need to create a post about your insecurity. And I'm weird because I feel compelled to write a response.
If you are concerned about the rimming thing, force yourself to do it and learn to love it.
Otherwise, who cares? You're allowed to be weird.

That's a long time ago! I've had some great experiences, met some great people, and spent a great deal of money!
Looking forward to continuing the adventure!

Manhattan got a reaction from Becket in Hot New (Gay) Hockey Series on CRAVE: Heated Rivalry
I'm sorry to find you all still swooning over two male "hockey players" who behave like women. Men with womanly hairless asses talking to each other like women imagine gay men talk. Gay sex depicted without having to see those aggressive, problematic penises.
I've never heard or seen gay men relate to each other like these two - so much drama! And not the kind I like in film or television.
Gay men - go on a date, get a massage, hire an escort. Have an actual experience with an actual man. Don't give money and attention to this dopey series.

Yes, I too met August at Babylon. He left and went out on his own for a while before he landed at 27.
i remember the place on 57th Street! Up a tall flight of stairs.

I remember several of these spas fondly.
Babylon was where I first met August, who moved to 27MS after Babylon closed (or maybe a little before it closed?).
Moon Boy was indeed the name of the place on 25th off 6th. I remember it being Moon Boy in contrast to Sunny Boy on 27th, before it changed to 27MS and then moved to the other end of the block to its current location.
I don't recall the name of the place on Lex at 28th but I remember my experiences there very well. They advertised on Craigslist. I used to get a massage there and then go across the street to an Indian restaurant for lunch or dinner. I never went to the other spa nearby though. I believe that one opened afterwards (or marketed its itself to the gay community afterwards) and I felt loyal to the first place.
A few more no longer with us:
Top Men Spa (35th and 7th, I believe)
Hero (50th and 9th?)
Grandee (56th and 8th)
28 Mens Spa (28th and 6th)
Alpha Male (west side/midtown - I don't recall the cross streets as I only went once or twice?)
New Yorker on 6th between 30th and 31st.
24 Chelsea Spa on 24th off of 9th Ave (not to be confused with Chelsea Men's Spa on 29th and 6th).
There was a "bodywork" spa in the basement just north of 14th St (not sure if it was 15th , 16th, etc.) and I think they had another location with the same name in HK on 10th Ave?
There was a place on 57th St, maybe between Lex and 3rd? Lots of older, muscular Asian masseurs there. That was probably about 15 years ago. It was one of the first HE type spa I every experienced.
There was one on E 53rd, maybe between 3rd and 2nd Ave? Can't remember the name though.
And there was a spa near Grand Central, not far from the old Shangri La, except this was in an office building. It always felt a little strange to go to this location with so many "legit" workspaces just down the hall.
