Travel log in the making...
Every year I make one trip where I put up very little limits in terms of budget. Last year it was First Class to Bangkok. The year before I lived the suite life (pun intended) in Las Vegas. This year’s “major” excursion will be New York City this coming spring.
Unlike many people on the list with a passive income I can only rely on my 6 weeks of paid vacation every year to get me out in the world. From those weeks I have to make time for family as well as my yearly cultural/relaxation trip where my mind is far removed from game.
I’m aware I’m out really early with this thread and putting up an exceptional amount of prep and planning. With feet on the ground I don’t want to put a minute into research, I need to be a New Yorker. This is method acting taken to game. The reason why these preparations are necessary is because I have a theme to follow for this stay in NYC, a connection and foot in the door on a certain crowd. I can’t divulge any details on this connect before my trip is over but let’s just say that it’s related to the kind of talent you’d find at a major event that was just recently taking place in the city a few weeks ago.
For those of you that have read some of my post you’ll know that I’m not a fan of the 1-10 rating system but only have a No/Yes/Hell yes! scale and this time around it’s going to be all about the Hell Yes segment. So forgive me for being coy, don’t want to tip my hand in the event that there are any white knights reading the forum.
The chateau:
NYC is however no stranger to me. I’ve visited the city a number of times both as a tourist and for gaming. I have however handicapped myself a lot previously because I’ve only stayed in hotels. While this has weeded out any girls not immediately DTF it carries with it the obvious hindrances with the talent that needs that plausible deniability to let their panties fly.
So for my stay I’ll be renting a 1br apartment in SoHo. Putting down a hefty $2k+ for 2 weeks. Outrageous? Definitely, but this is an agency styled swag pad with every modern convenience you can imagine. I’d put up pics but the place has been featured in online interior design mags which would make it easily located. Too risky at this early stage. The location and class of the place has to fit the image I intend to project. Don Draper is returning to NYC. I’ll have Minetta tavern just a block down and walking distance to Cipriani, Balthazar and 60 Thompson. All A-grade “date” spots (and pick up for that matter) which offers me unparalleled logistics.
This is how I prefer to roll these days, no expenses spared in the hard product. I like to live well, I can’t even stay in 3* hotels anymore. I know I’m really hammering home this point but the cost per notch for this trip is irrelevant. It’s all about the quality.
The prep
After a bit of a lull over the darkest months of winter I’m now again back to my regular training schedule. I typically go for 50/50 bulk/endurance with gym and yoga which, with my body type, lands me in V-shape (otter mode). This look is great for filling out suits and fine clothing in general as you get the good clean lines that most fashion designer use as their base template.
Sadly, unless you’re a williamsburg hipster that brews your own Kombucha and wear pink bow ties it’s my experience that the lanky-fit look lands you little love in the US (even though NYC is generally better at appreciating it). So now I’m putting more focus into pure bulk. It’s more of an aesthetical build and less function. Usually I don’t really care for this but you have to know your market.
By the time I’m touching down in NYC I’ll be in ketosis! (no, seriously I still don’t know what the heck that means)
Have to remember to order an Uncle Roosh t-shirt as well.
The plan
Arriving late on a thursday, I'll be picked up by a private driver that carries keys to the apartment and will take me right up to my front door. Will not likely be in the apartment until 11pm and possibly jet lagged so the first night I’m keeping it chill and just setting foot in the Asian restaurant next door to my place. Going in without expectations as it’s likely not packed with hotties but at least the online reviews say the waitresses are hot.
Other than the main theme I will follow that I can’t get into just yet I intend to have a couple of side-themes for game. This is the beauty of NYC, you can pick and choose any demographics, race, ethnicity or sub-culture imaginable to focus on. These are my ideas so far.
The pipelining
I Intend to hit OKC hard in the weeks leading up to the trip. I have some numbers gathered from previous visits to NYC and did some very early pipelining earlier in order to get my finger on the pulse of the current dating market. The numbers gathered earlier than a few weeks prior to the intended dates/drink meet-ups I fear will have a flake rate of 90%+ however so there’s little point in putting too much effort into it.
The one thing that I will credit this medium with however is that you can cherry pick whatever ethnicity, age, profession etc that you might desire at the moment. For my part, what offers the most promise is the ability to target talent living outside the city. Yeah you heard me right. I haven't’ had the opportunity to test this extensively but in my experience American women many times would rather hook up just to avoid a long drive/ride home when superb logistics is on my side. Another point that hasn’t really been fully discussed at the forum but that begs it.
Back up plans
I’m not a general fan of Night clubs, too loud, too many attitudes, bitch shields and posturing. When rolling solo, as I almost always do, the shittesting will also be immense. It’s just plain bad ROI compared to what’s available on Manhattan. It might however be necessary for me to visit clubs as part of my main theme or if I just strike out at all other venues over a night. If it comes to that, I will be prepared.
Full credit goes to Distant Light for this excellent nightclub list grouped by nights of the week. I’m quoting it here to keep a solid list of NYC resources in one thread.

- Central Park Day game - Saturday/Sunday
What it says. The first weekend day with nice weather will see me in Central Park approaching hotties left and right. By the time the sun sets I’m going to know the location of every pet store between 59th and 110th st. From previous visits I have the feeling however that most younger people congregate in the lower end of the park (59th to 86th) so I’ll probably concentrate on this area feel free to correct me. I’m not 100% sure on what kind of vibe to project for gaming this part of town (dress, directness, insta-date or drink later, etc etc) When I’ve done it back at home and abroad previously I’ve kept it very casual, but in NYC... jury’s out. I get the feeling that it’s very no-nonsense and if a girl doesn’t blow you off within the first minute she knows what’s up
- - Artfagging - Event dependant
Credit goes to Kid strangelove for this. SoHo is renowned for its art and there are frequently gallery openings. While these venues typically have an audience that many on the board want nothing to do with these events do come with their own opener. I can talk about art at length. I can discuss different schools of arts and their respective heavy weights. I can spin art talk into talking about classic art capitals I’ve travelled to such as Rome, Milan, Barcelona, Berlin, London. It’s the kind of place where I can hold court. They usually provide free red wine as well...
- - Flagging excursion - Weekday
Love or loathe him but credit goes to Mixx for this one. A couple of years back he posted something of a roadmap on where you should go in New York to meet certain nationalities. Flushing for chinese, Brighton Beach/Coney Island for EE etc (link at the bottom) So this theme would be about getting on the subway out to one of these outlier areas and just hit up all the fresh-off-the boat talent you land your eyes on. Basically a flag run within the confines of the city. While definitely an interesting prospect there are several ifs/buts about this theme.
-These ladies are likely to not be as DTF as girls that have spent some time in NYC and adapted its fast pace.
- Logistics, getting to the outer areas may require as much as an hour on the subway. If you can’t insta-date then setting up another date can be tricky. Couple this with the above point and my time might be better spent elsewhere.
- Many of these ladies being targeted likely do not speak very good english.
- Finding areas where hot women congregate in Manhattan is easy as pie, very little data exists on this on the more ethnic neighbourhoods however.
So I’m on the fence about this theme. I’m surprised there’s been so little written about it on the board.
- - Powerdame pickup AKA shrivelled ovaries irrigation mission - Weekday lunches
Targeting female high-powered movers and shakers. Best hunting grounds should likely be coffee shops and after work bars in Downtown and around Park Avenue. Most of the talent are likely to be stressed out girls trying to make their marriage work with their job or full-on career women approaching spinsterhood.
Why would any sane man want anything to do with these women you ask? Well, from my own (limited) experience with these women, that also seems to be corroborated by reports on the board, there are no living creatures faster to spread their legs once you’ve powered through their general bullshit and interrogation-like questioning of what you do and who you are. It’s my opinion that these women are the biggest freaks in bed, which also seems to be the board consensus. It’s no coincidence that many powerful people end up as subs when they get off work.
