A catch and a half (Time One New York)

Your Future Lawyer Boyfriend Is Into Yoga, But Not the Kind His Mom Likes

Look at this: Time Out New York finally put faces on those Craigslist personals section, in its new “Single Men Willing to Be Photographed” slide show. We know you’ve had a tough time finding men recently, but we really think you’ll like this Williamsburg lawyer, Aaron. He is a very busy man, what with his bike training (it is what he does “all the time,” which makes us wonder when he does his lawyer work), so make sure you have your own “similar hobby/career/problem.” Because as they say, “similarities attract.”

Also, he seems to have some judgmental attitudes toward his mother’s yoga practice, but that is definitely something you two can work through, right? Read More

The Best Overlooked New York Films, as Determined By Angry TONY Commenters

Whenever a news organization, blog, or what have you comes out with a “definitive” list on the Internet, they do so with the knowledge that half their traffic will come from people who are furious over particular omissions or inclusions. Even something as innocuous as naming New York’s most powerful media couples (and single people!) can start a firestorm that usually ends when Henry Blodget comes up with an even more esoteric lightning rod.

So when Time Out New York did a list of the 100 best films set in New York (not filmed, mind you!), and then ranked them in order, they were essentially placing a giant Kick Me sign next to their hundreds of thousands of pageviews. Consider it life’s greatest trade-off. Or something. Read More

Peace Out! Time Out President Alison Tocci Says Good-Bye

Alison Tocci, longtime president of Time Out North America, is leaving after nearly 15 years to run a nonprofit. She’ll become the president of the City Parks Foundation, the organization behind Central Park SummerStage.

Ms. Tocci’s move follows the purchase in late May of a controlling stake in the company by Oakley Capital Investments Ltd., a London-based private equity fund, from founder Tony Elliot, who retains a minority interest. Oakley is run by run by Peter Dubens, an entrepreneur who made his fortune with T-shirts that change hue based on body temperature, advertising the wearer’s perspiration with brightly colored patches.

Pow! This 3D Magazine Knocked My Lights Out!

There are things you want to see in 3D in a magazine like Time Out New York and things you don’t. But before we can see anything, we have to assemble the glasses. The perforation is hard to manage, forget putting the three parts together. Were these pieces of paper even designed to fit together? Read More

Gentle Jason Ashlock Ignores Recession, Opens Literary Shop

Back in Jonesboro, Ark., they still don’t know for sure what Jason Ashlock is doing in New York City. Whenever he tells his friends and family he’s sold a book, they go to the bookstore and look for it on the shelf. “I’m like, ‘Wait 18 months!’” the boyish 28-year-old said on Sunday night, sitting Read More
