This e-mail bombardier is addictive! Many New Yorkers and a few other urban city gals might already know about UrbanDaddy. Yes, it is that very well-designed, cool-looking, email popper magazine that lets its subscribers know about every cool spot around town. I accidentally got into it a few years ago with an invitation. It was so innocent back then: a few emails here and there about nice restaurants and clubs in town. Now it has gotten out of hand. It hits you back with 10 different versions categorized by major U.S. cities and lifestyles. I am only signed up for New York and everyday I get a well-written, seductive article about a new place in town. On top of the daily mail I get an insider’s tip every Thursday on cool things to do the coming weekend and beyond. I can’t stop reading and every time I do, I get depressed knowing that I will not be able to test any of these places in the near future (maybe never).
I am just too interested to unsubscribe, but I am also too occupied (and sometimes lazy) to try any of the recommendations. I can’t keep up. I guess I just read and feel happy for the others who can do otherwise. I might…I may…will I…could I…ever quit UrbanDaddying? It is as stressful as is. Let’s just hope it is too early for it to expand to Europe.
