I'm searching for the best cocktail in the city. Every time I think I've stumbled upon it, I find something better. Cocktails are just one of a bunch of random interests. I'm into health and fitness, I work out with a crazy former Slovakian special forces operator- still not sure if I prefer the workouts or his stories. I studied foreign policy and ancient history (very useful) but it gives me an edge in political debates/discussions.

Even though I've lived in New York most of my life, I've developed some unusual sports loyalties.

I appreciate wit, sarcasm, double entendres, good grammar, and the ability to write about oneself without using "I" excessively.

I was headed for a career in academia but since there aren't many job openings for Greek historians, I became an accountant and entrepreneur.

Why aren't there countdown clocks and A/C in so many subway stations

I think the word "trousers" is hilarious.

You're silly, a bit intellectual, and prefer the British pronunciation of "aluminum." (that last bit is optional)
