Julian’s Julian's is a handbook for curious travelers in Mexico City. Deeply reported and brightly written. Covers the city’s major attractions while revealing Mexico’s history, religion, politics, and cuisine. 
The Great Steak Debate The premier advertising and sponsorship vehicle for InsideHook, the men's lifestyle magazine that Steve launched in 2012. The event invites readers to a blind taste test of the nation's most popular steak purveyors and crowns a "golden brand" champion. 
Schadenfreude Lager A beer concept created in 2018, back when we foolishly thought there were consequences for anything. Still waiting for the FBI to knock on our door.

Wiimbledon In the year of our Lord 2007 AD, we created the world's first-ever Wii Tennis tournament in what was then the sleepy neighborhood of Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Designed to coincide with the actual tennis tourney, and unfolding over a weekend, Wiimbledon attracted hundreds of costumed players and the attentions of New York Magazine, Sports Illustrated, and ABC World News Tonight.
