Neetzan Zimmerman · 08/07/12 05:04PMHave Beauty, Will Travel: Website Matches Attractive Women With "Generous" Travel Companions
Neetzan Zimmerman · 04/25/12 10:18AMMiss Travel bills itself as "the #1 Travel Dating website." Quite a claim until you learn that it's also "the only online dating website for travelers." Less impressive, perhaps, but then you arrive at the gist: "We match Generous travelers who hate to travel alone with Attractive travelers who would love the opportunity to travel the world for free."

cityfile · 07/02/09 11:12AMWWD has a long piece today on Michael Wolff, the Vanity Fair columnist who has had a rough few months ever since we first reported that he was carrying on an affair with a former Vanity Fair intern named Victoria Floethe. If you've been wondering what Wolff has been doing since he disgraced himself so fully (or you're interested in seeing a photo of where he's currently living), you should enjoy.
Your New Condo May Come with a Free Car
cityfile · 07/01/09 10:41AMReal estate developers are having trouble finding new buyers, as you know full well, and the situation is particularly challenging for buildings that happen to be in slightly iffy neighborhoods. Here's one way to entire prospective buyers: Make an offer on a one-bedroom at The Sinclair, located on the edge of Crown Heights, and you'll get a free Prius as part of the package. Now if only they could arrange to have Bob Barker come down to give away these free cars personally, this promotion would be perfect. [Curbed]

Ryan Tate · 03/06/09 02:26AMHalloween Masks: The Cityfile Collection
cityfile · 10/30/08 09:48AMLast week we offered to send you a Halloween mask free of charge. We ran through the supply pretty quickly and a number of you were left out in the cold.

So you can print them out yourselves in the event you still don't have a Halloween costume lined up. After the jump, our very special collection of seven masks, in case you feel like dressing up as Anderson Cooper, Mario Batali, Nina Garcia, Anne Hathaway, Keith Olbermann, Vikram Pandit, or Al Sharpton.

Is The Editor Of People Too Friendly With Madonna?
Hamilton Nolan · 07/02/08 12:07PMPeople magazine has always been sickeningly nice in its celebrity coverage-it interprets kid-glove coverage as "respectability" in the generally not-nice celebrity news world. They've even crowned Anne Hathaway a "princess" for finally breaking up with her con man boyfriend, for chrissake. Part of the problem is editor Peter Castro, last seen here partying it up in the Bahamas on the corporate dime while the rest of the company crumbled. Shady anonymous whisperers tell us he likes to suckle at the teat of Madonna, figuratively!
Google's freebie problem: "They don't know where to draw the line."
wagger1 · 06/11/07 11:54AMYou've seen one Google office, you've seen them all. But Brier Dudley of the Seattle Times had a column to write, so he ate some free food and turned in yet another dutiful profile of the lavish cafeterias in Google's Kirkland office. The outpost of Google is mostly notable for being a stone's throw from Microsoft and Amazon.com's headquarters, whence it's poached countless engineers with free food and other soft benefits.
