• New York Trash
  New York Trash is a resource for everything trashy in New York. New York Trash is a highly opinionated, sometimes brazen and rude place. Kind of like New York itself. You will find stuff here that we think is cool and trashy from the Rotten Apple, not a bland, broad guide to everything in NYC. This site also has a decidedly downtown slant to it. So if you want to know about bars on the Upper East Side, you can leave now. But, if you want the lowdown on the bands, bars and beliefs that keep New York trashy (and fun), come on in! Just don't forget to scrape the soles of your shoes after you leave.
