New York Attracts the World’s Most Beautiful People

The only person hotter than my doula and my barista? My mom’s doorman.

My friend’s cat-sitter–slash–part-time lover has eyebrows to make a grown woman weep. My rabbis are so handsome that my friends now go to shul. My dermatologist is such a babe that I pay serious money to look just like her. My mother’s doorman deserves a Dior campaign. The only person hotter than my literary agent is her wife. New York attracts the world’s most beautiful people — and I’ve got my eye on all of them.
