Native New Yorker wanderlust seeking best friend/lover/travel partner.

Friends accuse me of being generous, loyal and reliable. I have to plead 'No Contest' on all counts.

I enjoy spending quality time with old friends and making new ones along the way.

When it comes to good restaurants, coffee shops, book stores, lounges, live music venues, museums, and theater, count me in. It's impossible to get enough of these things in New York City.

Weekends in the summer find me at Fire Island, where I make time for hanging with friends on the beach, yoga, and dinner parties.

Work and career are supremely important to me in their own right but also because they afford me the opportunity to do the cool stuff mentioned above that makes life enjoyable.

Who I Am Looking For:

You are not averse to the above activities.

You have a big life of your own, that you don't mind sharing.

You have self knowledge.

You rather read than watch TV.

You rather go out and see live music or talk w/ friends over coffee than stay in and make it a "Blockbuster Night".

You rather donate a kidney than move to the suburbs.

You go to museums and galleries and reserve the right to make fun of the art.

Enjoying it.

Listening.

Flying across the country (or across the ocean) for long weekends on short notice. Usually for a concert or a party or to see a friend.
