Nowhere Men: Human connection in quarantine
Alex and Brian are the Nowhere Men, two best friends who believe everyone has a story to tell, especially a New Yorker. They document real New York stories from the DogFather, a former mafia enforcer turned animal rescuer, to how to manage coronavirus stress. They started their journey together at the Mongol Rally then did a 13-month trip from NYC to the bottom of South America. They now explore lesser known New York stories across all boroughs and walks of life. Have you ever wondered why the fruit vendors stay open late or what their business model is? Their Facebook videos cleverly answer these unique New York questions. From growing up in a commuter town to “studying abroad” for college away from New York just to come back to this city, they say there was never a possibility of living anywhere else in their minds. They think a New Yorker badge is eating at more than 10 dollar pizza places. Alex shares his worst apartment horror story complete with pigeon sounds. Brian shares his favorite Calvin and Hobbes quote “there’s never enough time for all the nothing in the world.” This quote has helped him let go of things that don’t matter in his apartment, like his guitar, which he hasn’t touched in years and helped him gain clarity during quarantine on things that matter most.
