The latest buzzy home-tour web series isn’t showcasing quirky pads or idealistic dream homes but rather the nightmarish rooms of Gen Z and millennial NYC men who live in filth and squalor — and like it that way. The snippets are far from aspirational — think MTV’s “Cribs” meets Lifetime’s “Hoarders” with a hint of A&E’s “Intervention” — but people can’t look away.
“Wow, this is a lot to take in,” comedian Rachel Coster, the brave tour guide for “Boy Rooms,” said upon entering 30-year-old David’s grungy bedroom last week.

The Post joined a tour of David’s Brooklyn pad, shuffling around to find somewhere to stand on the bartender and indie filmmaker’s floor, covered in T-shirts, scrap papers, cash and other junk.
It was an interior designer’s nightmare: Everything from the random art posters to the concave bed was slanted, the TV was an inch from falling off the ledge and most items belonged in the trash.

The killing of Iran’s tyrannical Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Saturday in an unprecedented joint military attack by the US and Israel called Operation Epic Fury set off widespread celebrations from Iranians around the world — as President Trump said it would give them their “greatest chance” to “take back the country.” Meanwhile, in Iran, a lack of internet has made it impossible for Iranians to easily communicate daily conditions. Over a period of three days, with limited VPN connection, an eyewitness currently in Tehran — who, for her safety, is concealing her identity — shared her account of life under a country in the midst of battle with The Post’s Natasha Pearlman.
After exactly 120 years, the curtain has fallen on the Theater District institution Barbetta, with the iconic Italian restaurant having served its final course Friday night.
