http://www.nakedeyeoptical.com Find every possible variation of the requisite chunky black eyeglass frame at George Lee and Owen Long's new LES optical shop, Nakedeye.

http://www.ncac.org This coalition of literary, artistic, religious, professional, and labor groups fights for freedom of expression, speech, and thought all over the country. Much of its work is philosophical and is based upon slight legal actions that could have a big impact on freedoms in the future. The leaders of this 50-member-group organization not only promote activism and monitor litigation and legislation (on matters such as abstinence-only sex education, which they staunchly oppose), but they also engage with the writers, actors, and really, people from every field, by organizing educational conferences and publishing a quarterly newsletter.

http://www.nwu.org The NWU puts a lot of stress on aprofessionalism,a which seems counterintuitive. Who are they trying to impress? I mean, isnat the life of a writer inherently non-professional? Benefits? Collective bargaining, improved working conditions? Fine, Iam all in favor of unionizing, and any support to the struggling writer is wonderful, but please, writers union, donat make yourself into a workaday drone machine, as your PR material makes you sound.

http://www.nbc.com The NBC Studio Tour is a little expensive, but fun. If you're lucky, you may catch a Saturday Night Live rehearsal. (The odds are in your favor during the fall and spring.) Unless something is under construction, you will see all of the sets for the shows filmed here in NYC, including the news programs. Their website often is overloaded, so it's better to phone. More >>

http://www.nyblade.com Pick up this free-kly from the stacks placed inside a deli's doorway in Chelsea, and you might not know it's a LGBT-targeted publication . . . until you flip to the classifieds.

We'll let you be the judge. Find it at more than 900 locations (free!) in the metropolitan area If we can trust circulation numbers, it reaches 100,000 readers. More >>
