The show celebrates everything that is New York: the sexy neighborhood coffee shop waitress serving it up hot, the steamy firemen saving the day, and the local pizza delivery boy bringing a pie to your apartment. This year's 'Bares' is sure to offer something to indulge every Gothamite's hottest fantasies about sex in the city," state press notes.
