From the author who brought you “The Game,” a memoir about his journey into the art of picking up women, this PUA master returns at this free reading with a two volume set entitled “Rules of The Game” which includes The Pickup Artist's Companion and The Style Diaries, which tells of his misadventures with this knowledge. Before Neil teaches you about “sexy time,” hit Planet Thailand 212 for dinner. Williamsburg’s favorite Thai and sushi restaurant has extended into Manhattan and looks just as impressive as it’s sister. After you learn some new tricks, The Star Lounge, located under the forever-hip Chelsea Hotel has three rooms including a main room that’s red, white, and dimly lit providing a sexy atmosphere. Right next door to the B&N, there’s a Burlington Coat Factory and though it's not glamorous, unlike the department stores across the street, the clothing is not as picked over.
