You have arrived at the web home of Noah Brier. This is mostly an archive of over a decade of blogging and other writing. You can read more about me or get in touch. If you want more recent writing of mine, most of that is at my BrXnd marketing x AI newsletter and Why Is This Interesting?, a daily email for the intellectually omnivorous.
A few weeks ago I got an email from someone inviting me to sign up for a new daily email/website called Thrillist. The email described it as "a thorough, edgy, hilarious guide to restaurants, bars, events, and general debauchery in NYC." I'm always looking for some good NYC debauchery, so I decided to sign up. (Just as a note, I'm not sure where they got my email, but I expect it's because I'm registered on NYC Bloggers.)
After a few weeks I'm happy to report that Thrillist was indeed a good find. The daily tips are much more aligned with my interests, focusing on dive bars and bacon instead of nail polish and sample sales (not that I'm against sample sales).
Thrillist even let me know about Hotel QT, which includes a lobby pool with a bar. This kind of information is especially helpful when you have a friend who's had delusions of opening "Pool Bar" for about a year now, but it seems like fun for everyone.
The only problem is that Thrillist is currently available to everyone, but if you're interested in landing yourself a preview code just drop me an email (nb [at] noahbrier.com) or leave a comment. If you live around NYC or would just like to know about Bacon of the Month clubs, why don't you give it a shot?
