Meet Market: Southern gentleman sks a peach in the Big Apple

Spice


it up

When it comes to food, Graham says he’ll eat anything with a kick. “Spicy barbecue or spicy Thai,” he says.

Call him, maybe

When it comes to making plans, Graham prefers texting to calling, and he prefers having conversations in person.

New guy on


the block

Though he’s only lived here for a year, the newbie Brooklynite says he “can act the part” of a New Yorker by hustling socially and professionally.

Mountain man

After a year in Telluride, Colo., Graham considered himself a “ski bum,” and while there aren’t as stellar slopes nearby, he still keeps all his equipment at his Carroll Gardens apartment.

One tough cat

Graham may be allergic to cats, but this didn’t stop him from taking in a 2-month-old kitten: “I can take medicine or build up immunity,” says the do-gooder.

Give him the boot!

Graham’s biggest turn-on? A woman who knows the words to Nancy Sinatra’s “These Boots Are Made for Walking.”

Graham gets to choose from these three girls. Who do you think he should date?

Cathy, 25
associate content producer

She is: quiet, at first, but can be courageous “at times.”

She wants: a guy who has a personality outside of quoting “Family Guy.”

Homeboy: If you still live with your parents, no thanks, says Cathy. “This is experience talking,” she says, “not prejudice.”

Best make-out music: Canadian singer the Weeknd

Favorite NYC spot: Under the Brooklyn Bridge

Shocker! Not only does Cathy belly dance, but she knows her way around a pole, too. “A guy’s gotta be fit to keep up with me,” she says.

Caitlin, 28
fashion designer

She is: not your typical fashionista. “I’m an artsy, outdoorsy bookish lady,” she says.

She wants: a guy who can be silly and a nonpicky eater.

Good girl: “I am often nice to a fault, sometimes with people who don’t necessarily deserve it,” says Caitlin.

Celebrity crush: Ira Glass — “That voice! Those glasses!” she gushes.

Favorite NYC Spot: Fort Tryon Park

Turn-offs: Cat haters and chain smokers

Helen, 24
risk analyst

She is: a multilinguist who developed a thing for languages after traveling to countries such as China and Spain.

She wants: a fit guy who is “driven, well-educated, playful, and funny.”

Global goddess: If Helen could choose any superpower, she’d want to teleport, so she could visit friends who live all over the world.

Guilty pleasure: chocolate frozen yogurt

Make-out music: Norah Jones

Deal breaker: nontravelers
