Snorting Cocaine in Public
September 27, 2007 by Greg

What would happen if you snorted coke in public? I’ve never even thought to ask that question, but apparently the folks at rader have things like this occupying their minds.
Last June, the New York Times proclaimed that attitudes toward cocaine were evolving: “You could go into a swanky party in New York and do a line and nobody would notice.” But is the city that never sleeps really that blasé about blow? To find out, we dispatched reporter Neel Shah—clad in his finest Club Monaco getup—to places swank (Graydon Carter’s Waverly Inn) and pedestrian (Starbucks), armed with a baggie of confectioners’ sugar and our lawyer’s phone number.
The result? A few dirty looks, people moving away, and handful of establishments that looked the other way. Check out White Mischief for pics and more info.


I’ve seen this done once or twice in club bathrooms, but out in public?! Ballsy.
