It’s official, New York City has been voted sixth and Hong Kong eighth in the Top 29 Cities For Men To Live In. The survey was compiled by AskMen.com editors, the largest online men’s magazine. Section was based on a statistical formula that was applied to eight lifestyle categories that included, among other factors, cost of living, economic stability, ratio of single women to men, and the cost of a pint of beer. Chicago topped all cities on the list as the best city in the world for man to reside. Surprisingly, Hong Kong and Tokyo were the only two asian cities that made it on the list.
In this gloomy economy, is there still a market for luxury, over extravagant and over price complexes? Apparently the developers behind 200 Eleventh Avenue seem to think so. This luxury development in New York City’s West Chelsea features apartments with double-height ceilings as high as 24′, river and park views, and a Jetsons-like 15-space “En-Suite Sky Garage”. The door-to-door condo parking via car elevator, the first of its kind in City, will recognize each resident’s car as it approaches the building’s entrance and then lift it to a 300 square foot parking spot adjacent to the resident’s apartment. This provide some of the add benefits that one would have living in a private house, but in the comfort and convenience of the city.
Glacéau, on April 3, unveiled their new pop-up brand experience space in the Soho district of New York City. The shop will feature Vitamin Water 10, their new naturally sweetened beverage that yields only ten calories per serving. It was developed in response to the many consumer requests for a more healthly conscious version of their popular Vitamin Water beverage. Vitamin Water 10 comes in four flavors: XXX (triple antioxidants-acai-blueberry-pomegranate), Essential orange-orange (c+calcium), Energy tropical citrus (b+guarana) and Multi-V lemonade (a-zinc). For the next ten days (til April12) every flavor is available for consumers to sample. I tasted all four and will be posting an in-depth review soon.
The Vitamin Water Brand Space is design to have a lounge-like atmosphere were people can hangout, relax and engage with the Vitamin Water Brand. There’s a host of amenities including free WiFi, a laptop bar for checking email or internet browsing, couches throughout, Nintendo Wii game play, a foosball table, and a free instant photo booth. It will be open for only ten days (April 3-12th), so check it out while you can.
