Hot dog eating and vodka drinking contest on Brighton Beach! 1 shot, 1 dog and keep going. Winner gets to vomit in the water and take home a special rat-themed prize.

I’m down to challenge someone FYI btw.

May 16th is a great day for so many reasons. ….would love to hear your commentary on how rats enjoy all the tourist attractions: Coney Island, double decker bus tours, maybe they’re drawn to the latest art installations …like the High Line Red Tree sculpture and Manhatten’s “Field of Light” installation. We all know they’re there…watching…and waiting…(ok, maybe it’s just because I’m stuck in flyover country and want to see/hear about these things 😂)

1. Public Restroom Map / Reviews

2. Find the most disgusting movie theater in the city

3. Also on restrooms -- find the few remaining subway restrooms and review

4. Kill and grill a street rat

Oh I love these ideas, especially #4. In some countries grilled street rat is a delicacy.

I personally find the army of overdressed souls on electric bikes doing food delivery an interesting part of city life. I also enjoy your reviews of vile restaurants. Keep up the good work, your newsletter always makes me giggle.

Yeah there are millions of those bike delivery guys. Why are there so many? Good idea!
