Models and Bottles

Our first speaker on this program will be Nina Scalera who is a fellow podcaster with her own show She Werks Hard for the Money about her life as a 20-something working as a bartender at the trendy midtown restaurant Avra. Nina will give us a glimpse into the NY dating scene from her vantage point behind the bar.  

I am also raiding the What Happens Next archive and I have selected excerpts from a conversation with Ashley Mears who is a a sociologist at Boston University, and the author of the book Very Important People: Status and Beauty in the Global Party Circuit.  I wanted to contrast the bar scene at a cool bar with bottle service at a hip club.
