Hot Asian Adventures

Cross the bridge to experience the untamed elegance of Brooklyn. A personal tour of the borough's most exclusive venues, perfect for a discreet and unforgettable evening. There is a moment when Manhattan’s polished perfection feels almost too rehearsed. It was on such an evening, fueled by a desire for something rawer yet equally refined, that I directed my driver across the Williamsburg Bridge. I wasn't alone, of course. My companion for the night was a vision of elegance,

Last month, I watched someone completely captivate a room at a private auction preview. She wasn't the wealthiest person there, nor was she bidding on the Monet that eventually sold for seven figures. But she had something that money alone can't buy—an effortless presence that made everyone want to be part of her conversation. Her companion for the evening? A successful hedge fund manager who understood that in certain circles, who you arrive with matters almost as much as th

By NancyMedia Christine remembers the first review a client posted about her. She was terrified to read it, but also desperate to know what he'd said. When she finally clicked on it, her hands were shaking. "Great conversation, beautiful, professional," it said. Three sentences that felt like a performance evaluation from a job she couldn't put on LinkedIn. She felt relief and shame in equal measure, but mostly she felt the weight of understanding that her livelihood now depe

By Nancy Tiffany graduated from NYU with a degree in communications and sixty-eight thousand dollars in student debt. Her first job out of college paid thirty-eight thousand dollars a year before taxes. After rent for a shoebox apartment in Bushwick, her loan payments, subway fare, and groceries, she had almost nothing left. "I was living on peanut butter sandwiches and hoping I wouldn't get sick because I couldn't afford the copay," she told me over tea in her now much nicer

By OrientalNY Lauren keeps a mental catalogue of her regular clients, and if you heard her describe them, you might be surprised. There's Michael, the fifty-something lawyer who books her every other Thursday and spends most of their time together talking about his mother's dementia. There's David, who takes her to dinner at expensive restaurants and mostly wants someone to discuss books with. There's Robert, recently divorced, who sometimes just holds her hand while they wat

Some client messages are perfectly normal. "Can we book Thursday at 7pm?" or "Running five minutes late, sorry." Others are weird in ways that stick with you. Like the guy who texted at 2am: "Are you awake? I can't sleep and keep thinking about you." Or the client who sends photos of gifts he bought me but never gives me. Just pictures of jewelry in store displays with messages like "saw this and thought of you." The married clients are the worst for late-night emotional tex

By OrientalNY Diana showed me her phone and walked me through her safety protocol. Before every appointment, she texts three different people: her best friend who's also an escort, her roommate, and a professional security service she pays two hundred dollars a month to monitor her. Each text includes the client's verified information, the address where she'll be, and her expected departure time. If she doesn't check in within fifteen minutes of that time, the calls start com
