Canadian in NYC here. No need to pay out of pocket . I think it is free, but they took my insurance just in case. Just walked into CityMD and 20 minutes later, test is done. Can be asymptomatic. Some companies are requiring proof of testing before returning to the office. No reservations needed. Best to go early morning. Option to do one or both (PCR and antibody). I only did the antibody. I read somewhere that the local CVS drug stores (like Shoppers Drug Mart in Canada) in NJ will have self swab tests by the end of the month.

Remember J's Hangout or the Manhole? Those were fun places

Post-pandemic? For new guys, I‘ll pay their asking rate. For regulars, i probably would give extra as I already have with one of them (without any promise of future meetings during the pandemic; plus my condo does not allow visitors beyond the lobby)

I would have done a lot at that time if I wasn‘t a nervous 20 year old....lol.

Wasn‘t there an erotic stripclub/theater on 8th Ave and 43rd called “Adonis”. For some reason i recall walking that neighborhood in the 90s and saw some male hustlers nearby. Don’t forget Stellas too!

I made meatloaf yesterday... similar to the OPs. I made a few substitutions: homemade sourdough breadcrumbs pulsed in food processor and caramelized onions, and some honey bbq sauce glaze on top. Delicious.

My doorman lost a brother, my neighbor lost his cousin and aunt/uncle in the same week, and a friend lost a colleague. In my office building, we were informed there were 2 other offices that had infected individuals. I am playing it safe and not hiring for the foreseeable future. Saving almost 5K a month!

There are some real pushy dancers, i never found Jimmy to be one of them.

I really liked Jimmy, who was always so friendly and sensual. I wonder if he will show up on any of those virtual dances???

Yes, those citadel boys are hot as well as some of those who to to College of Charleston and the Medical University there. It is a fun college town and plenty of eye candy.

Agree... I only keep a quarter of what I make and the rest are given away to a few neighbors in my building. French butter is perfect with these creations.

Have you tried Hokkaido Milk Bread? They are so light and fluffy and pretty easy to make (vs. long resting time with sourdoughs).

I’ve been making a lot of sourdough... baguettes, Miches. King Arthur is my go to website for recipes and video tutorials. Made my first starter a month ago and have been baking every week. Have been sharing my starter with my neighbor who makes really great rye bread. It’s arduous work for just bread. Makes me grateful for bakers who make this everyday. Definitely not easy work. Although nothing beats a fresh warm loaf in the morning

Everything is done so erratically and people in the US are reticent to share cellphone data for contact tracIng, I i don’t trust the US government to handle that well at all.

Would prefer more skin and more salacious details of gay Hollywood

I can‘t judge others. Some of the guys i used to see are not working for health reasons, others are students who have family support, while others have no option but to work. The one who does work told me he hasn’t had a client in more than a month... i‘ve helped him out a few times already. It’s not like his rent isn‘t due or he doesn’t have expenses, nor is he eligible for stimulus as he is a foreign student. What do they do? So, i am not judging anyone. I don’t know if i will hire that much as before after this is done. I don’t have the same feelings for transactional sex any more. I’m sure many of use will have another discussion as this crisis hopefully ebbs soon.

Agree with you. One of the "brazilian garotos" in New York, has been here on "student visas" for the past 5 years. How he can renew it, i don't know... but i know he has to leave the country periodically before returning. Usually he visits a friend in spain, but he refuses to work in the saunas there as it cheapens his worth...lol.

I‘m sure most will refuse to work in Brazil once they know how much they can get in nyc.

Charleston is a foodie town. FIG, Husk, Macintosh, Fat Hen all great choices. Have been there many times as my friend has a beach house on Kiawah, a small barrier island outside of Charleston. Very genteel town. Great food festivals, and music festivals as well. Magnolia Plantation in addition to Drayton HAll mentioned above Is worth visiting.

Looks like someone i know except his thighs are not has thick..... similar dog too...

I love the small form factor of the SE. I am hesitant on upgrading as the new one is even bigger. I prefer something unobtrusive.

It's a fun experience. Was there last two weeks. Will be on tonight too. Just a fun way to past the time.

Thank you bot Bostonman and g56whiz! I learned so much from this conversation.

Save your $ until this is over and hire a pack of guys for an all night orgy.

I loved watching it! It was nice to see the singers in their homes. Not sure if it was snobbery, but when the conductor mentioned how other orchestras collaborated online with a “click tract” he dismissed it as not as authentic.
