The End of New York: Booze, Broads and Brazilian Jiu-jitsu

This is a work of fiction inspired by the experience of the author. We follow a youthful Dustin Asman throughout New York City as he climbs his way up from busboy to bartender. Asman is many things and represents the millennial man. He's both an artist with the pen and the art of Brazilian jiujitsu. We meet his cohorts who are the last set of bohemians to witness the end of the great metropolis known as New York City.
