New York

257 6th Ave, between Houston and Bleecker; 212.255.1234

From a Harley-riding quintet offended by crotch rocketeers "dressed as Ninja Turtles", this just-opened, concrete-floored sleeve's peddling helmets (Ruby's open-faced Euro headwear, Nolan's off-road gear, etc), leather jackets w/ homemade details, and premium jackets from Euro labels Dainese and Benjamin Button clothiers Belstaff. The Fed's also pouring Illy coffee, beaming free wi-fi, and screening classic flicks like On Any Sunday, and soon hopes to open a full-bar'd outdoor cafe (because if the West Village needs anything, it's more drunk guys in chaps).

Peruse game day suds + grub specials on this GMap, which sports little bull's eyes for sweet deals ($30 open bar at Libation, etc), giant gold stars for sweeter deals (free pre-game Coors Light at The Big Easy), and Steelers icons for Pitt-affiliated joints and deals. Of course, there are no Cardinals icons, as New York's much too cold for retirees.

Just enter your addy and this directory of bodegas will list the 4am Hostess pies nearest you, plus plot their locations on a GMap. Click to peep a joint's address, a photo of the exterior, and a field for leaving comments, e.g., "best shriveled tangerines in New York!".

Straight out of Rochester, this e-depot's hawking tees and hoodies arted up w/ homemade art inspired by horror flicks, ranging from early masterpieces (Nosferatu), to 70s landmarks (Zombi 2's Zombie vs. Shark scene, Halloween), to 80s schlock, including They Live's "Obey" logo, and a pic of Fright Night's Stephen Geoffreys, whose odd career trajectory peaked with the ultimate horror, 1998's Halfway House Hunks.

Just enter an addy in this HousingMaps-like Craigslist/GMap mashup to see nearby pads for rent, w/ the option to filter by methods both typical (max/min rent, # of BRs, cats/dogs, sublets, etc) and atypical, e.g., max commute time to work, which uses a surprisingly complex formula including walk time to subway, subway travel time, and walk time to work, but doesn't cover buses -- because then it would have to factor in "hoisting self out of dumpster time".
