METROPOLICKS Sexy for a Day

April 15, 2015: What's it like to be Asian in the New York dating scene? Find out as Metropolicks kicks off its Asia campaign with this video! Before Metropolicks was even "Metropolicks," we had a Halloween Birthday Book party to celebrate the completion of the first draft of our book and both of our birthdays. At the party we captured some of what people had to say about our book and the dating scene in New York.  If you've read the "Sexy for A Day" chapter, you might think that this video could be a scene right out of that Metropolicks chapter.
