Cover Story
Sexy in the City
Who turns us on? Whether it’s men or women whose company we seek, we like some brains with our (Pilates-toned) bodies. Or some money. And some style. And a walnut-floored, Viking-outfitted Greene Street loft with twelve-foot ceilings wouldn’t hurt. Here we offer the definitive list of New York’s sexiest citizens—a Who’s Who of hot. Plus: We asked a panel of experts to give us the skinny on some typical New Yorkers—because in this town, competition is very sexy.
