Some people might be put off by the little penis figurines, toys of porn stars like Ron Jeremy laying around, "breast" books and Playboy retrospectives in the bathroom, the stuffed animals laid out carefully on our bed (really), and the host's opening discussion with my girlfriend alone about his avid love of Grindhouse exploitation movies ... or the extremely small apartment, extremely small bedroom and loft bed. But, to us, that's what makes New York special. Michael is very helpful.
