THE NAKED CITY<\/h1>\n

NUDES FLASH: IN-BUFF STUFF IS HUGE!<\/h2>\n

By ADAM NICHOLS<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Welcome to Nude York City.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Some folks are stripping down to escape the scorching summer temperatures – but others aren’t waiting ’til they hit the area’s clothing-optional beaches.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0au naturel<\/em>\u00a0look is catching on at city restaurants, a Midtown yoga club and even a stand-up comedy joint.<\/p>\n

“We’re just more comfortable nude,” said John Ordover, who rents city eateries for dinner parties with a strict dress code – no clothes allowed.<\/p>\n

“We’re not out to shock or put on a public spectacle. We want only to do things that other people do in the way that we are most comfortable doing them. That, for us, is without clothes,” he said.<\/p>\n

About 50 diners – whose motto is “no hot soup” – regularly turn up for Ordover’s monthly meals held at venues including the Mercantile Grill on Pearl Street and Pete’s Downtown in Brooklyn.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“I had such a transformative experience on my own when I did yoga naked rather than clothed,” said Naked Yoga NYC teacher Isis Phoenix. “I wanted to share that.”<\/p>\n

The classes have about 10 devotees who have to obey two rules – leave your clothes behind, and bring your own mat.<\/p>\n
