Billie launches NYC campaign turning armpits into scratch-and-sniff
Personal care brand Billie is asking New Yorkers to make a pit stop when they see their posters for a scratch-and-sniff experience.
From now through Friday, May 16, passersby can smell a giant armpit on the street, which will give them a whiff of Billie's newest tropical-inspired scent, Coco Villa.
Fans of the brand will get to sample the new smell of their best-selling All Day Deodorant at 505 8th Ave near Penn Station, as well as other locations throughout the city.

Is Paige DeSorbo Joining Real Housewives After Leaving Summer House?
The news only broke yesterday that Paige DeSorbo is leaving Summer House after seven seasons on the show. But the rumors are already swirling about where she might be going next. It's common knowledge that both she and housemate Lindsay Hubbard were hoping to join The Real Housewives of New York. Though EP Andy Cohen shut down Lindsay's hopes for an apple last week, could Paige still be in the running? Real Housewives of Dubai alum Chanel Ayan thinks Paige may already have her apple tucked up in bed beside her. Is Chanel spilling company secrets or is she just speculating like the rest of us? Over at the r/BravoRealHousewives community on Reddit, there's chatter going on about whether Paige will go to RHONY. Amid the conversation, Chanel posted, 'Girl you are the only person I watch out for fashion … New York Housewives will be good for you.' Has Chanel been talking to Andy? Or is she just making the assumption that the rumors are true? After all, Ubah Hassan and Chanel are cousins, so maybe the Dubai model has an inside track with RHONY. I actually think Paige would be great on RHONY. They definitely need a little spicing up after the last season. Wouldn't Paige and Sai De Silva make a pair? Reactions to the rumor were mixed among Reddit users. In response to Chanel's accidental announcement, One Redditer wrote, 'Love Paige but my housewives gotta be 40+ and delusional.' Maybe Paige is just the one to bring all those delusional New Yorkers back down to earth. And she could gift them all with her new pajama line, Daphne. Maybe Jessel Taank would find Paige's PJs more to her liking than Jenna Lyons' Christmas tree nightie. But until I hear the words from Andy's lips, I'll just leave the idea of Paige on RHONY filed away under things that make you go, 'Hmmm.' Summer House and The Real Housewives of New York are both streaming on Peacock in the US and on Hayu in the UK and Ireland. TELL US – WHAT WOULD YOU THINK ABOUT PAIGE ON RHONY? DO YOU THINK SHE'D FIT IT WITH THE GROUP? The post Is Paige DeSorbo Joining Real Housewives After Leaving Summer House? appeared first on Reality Tea.

‘That's a lie': New Yorkers slam Connecticut's ‘best pizza' claim
GREENWICH VILLAGE, Manhattan (PIX11) — An escalation in the war of words over which state has the best pizza. Connecticut's Office of Statewide Marketing and Tourism put up several billboards in Manhattan and Brooklyn that read: 'The Nation's Best Pizza: Not You New York.' The CTVISIT website says Connecticut is taking its 'unapologetic pizza pride to the streets (and ego) of NYC with a billboard blitz that dares New Yorkers to admit their pizza isn't as good as Connecticut's.' The majority of New Yorkers walking past one of the signs on Sixth Avenue and West 10th didn't even break their stride to look at the sign. People we asked about it had plenty to say. Alex Joe said, 'I know Connecticut. I tried Connecticut, Manhattan has the best pizza. Shalia Ferguson said of the sign, 'Oh no, that's a lie. New York is the best.' Jimy Graham added that Connecticut is 'Just trolling. I guess trolling is trendy now, I guess, trendy trolling. What makes New York pizza? New York pizza is the music, the jazz, the blues, the people, the rhythm.'

Tracking the NYC Restaurants in ‘And Just Like That...' Season 3, Episode 2
And just like that, HBO Max's Sex and the City sequel series returns for its third season. And Just Like That... brings back our long-time New Yorkers Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), and Charlotte (Kristin Davis), as well as relative newcomers Seema (Sarita Choudhury) and Lisa (Nicole Ari Parker), to our televisions and laptops. What is summer without our gals talking candidly about sex, making bad puns, and dining and drinking around the city? Like previous seasons, Eater will be tracking where the gang is eating across New York City, from brunch sessions to romantic dinners to cocktail dates. This guide will be updated weekly when each episode airs on Thursdays at 9 p.m., leading up to the finale. And we're saying it now: there will be spoilers ahead. Episode 2, 'Outlook Good' Welcome to New Rat City, Carrie Bradshaw. Her idyllic Gramercy Park townhouse garden is overrun by the truest of New Yorkers — rats! Miranda discovers the joys of bad reality dating shows, and Seema's dealing with a parade of bad dates. Anthony is fulfilling his dream of opening a physical Hot Fellas bakery, or as he too obviously calls it, a 'dick-and-mortar.' It looks cute, with a counter, baked goods on display, tiled walls, lots of blues, and bread-shaped scones and door handles. (The production team didn't use an existing bakery for the filming — rather, they took over an empty storefront on the corner of East 88th Street and Madison Avenue.) Jac's on Bond 26 Bond Street, near Lafayette Street, Noho The episode begins with Carrie meeting with her former neighbor Lisette, who bought her longtime Upper East Side apartment at the cocktail bar. Lisette preemptively orders them both gimlets. 'I made a bold choice,' she explains. Lisette gifts Carrie a necklace with her old key and street address while they chat about dating in the city. Rosa Mexicano 61 Columbus Avenue at West 62nd Street, Lincoln Square The Upper West Side location of the Mexican mini-chain is a major set piece for this episode. In the first scene, Carrie, Miranda, and Seema are seated in the main dining room with chips and salsa for the group. A server comes over to make them tableside guacamole; she chimes in during Miranda's discussion of dating reality show Bi Island, and Miranda falls in love. Later on, Carrie and Miranda are back at the restaurant — Carrie is Miranda's 'guacamole beard' while Miranda flirts with the same staffer. 'I predict a very bright future for you,' Carrie says, 'Your combined good cholesterol will be through the roof.' They're seated next to the stunning blue-tiled waterfall wall. They order the guacamole again made by the same server, but alas, it turns out she's not interested in dating Miranda. Carrie also sends a voice text to Aidan while standing in the restaurant's beautiful bathroom. (Rosa Mexicana is planning on shuttering this Lincoln Square location to reopen nearby inside the Empire Hotel on West 63rd Street at some point this year. Le B 283 West 12th Street at West Fourth Street, Greenwich Village Seema goes on a series of bad dates at the luxe restaurant, where she and the lackluster men sit at the best seats at the bar — the corner. She disses one date who she assumes will ask to split the check by summing up the experience: 'Drinks: 30 dollars; telling you to go shove it: priceless.' Amazing. Tatiana 10 Lincoln Center Plaza, at West 65th Street and Ninth Avenue, Lincoln Square Seema goes on what she assumes is a date set up by her coworker at the upscale Afro-Caribbean restaurant. But it turns out to be a matchmaker meeting with Sydney, played by the delightful Cheri Oteri. (Maybe matchmaking in New York City is in the air: director Celine Song's new movie Materialists , which comes out on Friday, June 13, centers on a matchmaker in Manhattan.) Sydney showcases how good she is at reading people by ordering for Seema: 'salmon tartare, wasabi vinaigrette on the side, extra avocado, and hold the scallions.' Seema agrees it's the right choice. For herself, she gets the crispy artichoke and a martini (none of these are served at Tatiana actually). Bottino 246 Tenth Avenue, near West 24th Street, Chelsea For Seema's attempt to act like an appealing woman for the sake of a man, she goes on a date in the pretty garden patio of the Italian restaurant. They're eating pasta and drinking red wine; later, the guy orders two tiramisus, but Seema has had enough. 'I hated the cabernet you chose, and the tiramisu is tired,' she says, admitting that this isn't who she really is. He claims to still be into the date, but then ditches her, leaving Sydney to pop up out of nowhere to finish the dessert. And just like that (sorry, sorry), we're ready for next week's episode. Episode 1, 'Outlook Good' Goodbye, Carrie's brownstone that's actually in the West Village but masquerades as the Upper East Side; hello, new Gramercy Park townhouse. Last season, Carrie sold her iconic studio to buy and move into a large building along the park for herself and her cute kitty Shoe. Carrie and Aidan are in an ambiguous not-being-together-for-now situation as he lives in Virginia. Miranda's now back in New York and single. Motel No Tell 210 Avenue A, at East 13th Street, East Village Of course, a queer bar decked out with neon and a disco ball would be blasting Chappell Roan's 'Hot to Go!' This East Village bar is standing in for a 'lady bar,' as Miranda describes to Carrie and Charlotte, thanking them for accompanying her on a night out of trying to score a date. Now, she's a non-alcoholic drinker, but laments her $37 mocktail tabs, and later orders a Phony Negroni. A couple of scenes later, we're back at the bar: it's closing time and Miranda is alone. But she meets Mary (played by Rosie O'Donnell), a Canadian visiting the city. They end up going to her hotel room together. (In real life, Motel No Tell is celebrating its television appearance by offering a cocktail special for the summer: the Lady Pond is made with vodka, orange, vermouth, cranberry, lime, and apple shrub, for $16.) Tavern on the Green West 67th Street and Central Park West, Upper West Side Okay, the iconic Central Park restaurant isn't actually seen on the show, but it's the butt of a joke. Miranda recaps her hookup to Carrie, explaining that she turned out to be a nun who really wanted to take her to Tavern on the Green, saying 'she doesn't know, it's her first trip to New York.' Carrie is aghast: 'I don't know which is worse: that you slept with a nun or a tourist.' Jean-Georges 1 Central Park West, between Columbus Circle and West 61st Street, Lincoln Square Another talked-about but never-seen restaurant. Seema's Marvel director boyfriend Ravis is back from filming in Egypt and tells her he booked lunch at the French tasting menu restaurant. But before that, his film crew has to scout locations in Red Hook, which makes him late for their 1 p.m. reservation. He pushes it back to dinner, and the group eats cooler sandwiches on the pier. But of course, they miss their dinner, and Seema breaks it off. 'I don't do vans or Cool Ranch potato chips, but I did try,' she says. Red Rooster 310 Lenox Avenue, at West 126th Street, Harlem Lisa is tasked with throwing a last-minute cocktail reception for her husband Herbert to make him look cool for his political campaign running for city comptroller. So what's cooler than the celebrity chef Marcus Samuelsson's comfort food flagship? The dining room is full — Lisa tells the girls that they should 'eat everything' and that 'the fritters are no joke.' The tables are laden with fried chicken and sandwiches, and the event ends with Carrie and Miranda eating some sort of pudding-like dessert out of little mugs. Sign up for our newsletter.
