The Big Crap
I have a good friend who just moved to the city. He’s a fairly good-looking guy, with a quirky sense of humor and a great job, and although he has the worst taste in clothes (we’re talking leftovers from Menudo), he’s simply brilliant, what you’d call a great catch.
There’s one thing, though, I just don’t get: the boy can’t stay away from the Big Cup. Oh yes, that coffee (can we call it that?) shop with mismatched furniture and tragic, florescent-green walls on Eighth Ave.
Every time I walk by, there he is, always in the same spot, talking up one kid or another (always some twink from Brooklyn wearing one of those overnight backpacks). No matter how much I try to talk sense into him, he goes back, like a moth to, well… a flame. And every time he’s there, you can just see his reputation chip away, one moccachino at a time.
I know this sounds dramatic but it’s true. There are two places no self-respecting New York City gay man would ever enter: The Big Cup and Bang-Bang.
You know me, I’m a Russian Jew with a 10-inch cock. I’ve made a career out of hustling – little can scare me. But even I wouldn’t dare go where no cool man has gone before. Yesterday I walked by The Big Cup. A gentleman in his mid 40s, was sitting on one of the couches up-front, listening to music while knitting. KNITTING! And the sad part is, he didn’t look at all out of place.
That’s what The Big Cup has become, a refuge for the sad and the friendless and, of course my good pal (who shall remain nameless). Looking at all of them you can’t help but wonder, why would anyone waste so much time and energy pretending to be reading (ever seen anyone actually flip a page?) or writing (those god-awful lap tops) all for a quick hook up, when they can just get on the Internet, and lie about their age and looks like everyone else?
A word to the wise, if you want to get laid, don’t go to the Big Cup, and stay away from Bang-Bang. Because if you don’t, the only banging you’ll be doing is your head against the wall. Though if you are into pre-teens with plucked eyebrows and funny hair, The Big Cup could be your heaven, since those unfortunate boys do need a place to shower and sleep before heading back to the Diaspora.
Love,
Michael

So, Michael, where should a guy go for coffee when in NYC?
Posted by: Donald at June 14, 2005 05:47 PM
Wow - is it really that bad? I quite like the sound of it (but then I quite like the idea of knitting in a coffee shop) - weird for a 32 y/o but there you go!

What is the bang-bang?
Posted by: Travis at June 15, 2005 08:11 PM
Hanging out there is no worse than friends who hang out all the time on the hook-up sites. You never see them because they are too busy desparately trying to hook-up online!
Posted by: Mr. Smith at June 15, 2005 10:07 PM
No self respecting gay man in this city shops outside of the Upper East side or Soho in my opinion. I think all the faggots would hang themselves should Dolce, Gucci, Prada, Cavali, or Dsquared cease to exist. Of course we all have our dirty little Abercrombie and Fitch obsession also now and again.
Posted by: Chad Hunt at June 16, 2005 02:37 AM
So what makes a place good enough for any "self-respecting NYC gay man"? Maybe you should write a book about this so everyone can be a clone like those mindless muscle heads at the gym or bar and follow the Michael Lucas way of getting laid. Better yet, make a video through your company. What a community service you would be providing.
Posted by: Marcus at June 16, 2005 03:28 AM
What's wrong with Bang Bang?! I think their clothes are meant to be worn ironically, I don't know anyone who seriously, save B&Ters, wear it.
Posted by: Steve at June 16, 2005 12:04 PM
For once, I have to agree with you Michael...I'm so allergic to that place that if Im walking down 8th avenue, which I also try to avoid, I make sure to cross to the west side of the street to avoid all the vermin hanging outside the B C....Thanx again Mr. Lucas for speaking up your mind!!!
Posted by: Oscar at June 17, 2005 04:07 PM
dear michael:
i have been a big fan of yorus for years (i am sure you have heard that compliment numerous times, but i hope u still accept the sincerity of the words), and was very surprised to read in a recent blog entry of yours where you described yourself as a "Russian Jew". If i had not seen you naked numerous times in your videos the remark would not register at all with me, but i know that you are not circumcised. unless you were just kidding when you wrote that sentence, how could being jewish and not being circumcised? please explain if this is maybe a new Russian sect of judaism that rejects circumcision so that the boys can better enjoy masturbating?
thanks!
jay

While certain aspects of Big Cup might be appalling (green walls, young queers knitting)...wouldn't we rather see more friendly and independently owned coffee places pop up around the city? I don't think I can take another starbucks!
