Totally Random…Got Manhattan Milk?
“Certified organic milk straight from the farm” delivered right to your door…by a hottie (the one on the right) – or 2?!?!
…Even before crossing the East River, they’re getting an earful of milkman jokes.
“Our friends ask us, do housewives hit on us?” said Marone, 34, who drives their refrigerated truck during once-weekly Wednesday Manhattan milk runs. “We’re hotter than the gardener in ‘Desperate Housewives,’” he joked.
The business has drawn a small but loyal cadre of about 50 customers since its launch a year and a half ago. Despite the recession, they pay $4.99 a quart for organic milk from grass-fed cows on Amish farms in Pennsylvania.
Organic milk is trendy, but almost every supermarket carries it. Nostalgia – brought on by the clink of the milk bottles right outside the door – is proving to be a stronger selling point.
“When I was little, I used to have milk delivered this way,” said lower East Sider and Manhattan Milk customer Gloria Walker.
There’s no hanky-panky with customers, though in Manhattan Milk’s early days, some woke up early to check out the duo…
Seriously…Thoughts?

Is there anything you guys can't get in New York!?! lol Wow. I've seen it all now.
Um, these guys are kinda hot….I wouldn't turn the milk away!!! LOL
I had to stop by to tell you how AMAZING you look in the picture from DreamSequins' birthday party!!! YOU GO GIRL!!!
hello!!!!!
They can deliver my milk any day! Yum! Are they all hot? Are they certified non-douche? Do they do Jersey? I need answers!
ha, wow. I didn't know about this either. Thanks for the eye opener.
Can I have a protein shake? Hahaha…Just kidding. Was that inappropriate? Love your blog. I'm bookmarking YOU!
OMG. I saw this too!
Holy COW! that was a very MOOving post! You should be able to MILK this one for everything it's worth. This is really a CREAM of the crop site! I am UTTERly blown away you, my midtown BUTTERcup! I guess it is time for me to cut this CHEESE! LMAO! (Did I miss any dairy products!?)
Nostalgia + hot milkmen = love!
xoxox,
CC
P.S. Thanks for your sweet compliment on my pic!
I actually remember my parents getting milk this way once upon a time. Only our delivery person was some old wrinkled dude.
I think it's cool….I wasn't around when there were milk men, but it would be neat to have the service!
2 words for me girl – YES PLEASE! I am not a milk drinker but I will if they will be delivering my milk LOL! I hope you are having a great week!
Ahhh….milk does a body good ;D
Wondering if we are the same size….want to steal(oops I mean borrow) that wrap dress of yours LOL!
Ooh la la! Though I rate their hotness as "kinda hot".
Btw, LOVE you and your sexy dress on Dream Sequin's tea party post!
I mean…if the milk men looked like that then hell yeah.
lol…I've taken to drinking strictly organic milk and as you likely know, it's crazy expensive. But now that I drink it I don't want to go back to the regular stuff. soon, hopefully, no animal will be treated with hormones and we won't have to worry about ingesting any of that.
Great post! And I'm enjoying reading the comments just as much!! hahaha!
Count me in lol, well minus the yankee hat (Boston girl here), so I'll talk the guy on the right please
OMG they can deliver my milk any DAY. good lord. I read what you wrote but I am distracted by the hotness. Like that song..
Blinded by the light, except its blinded by the hot milk men…
ok. outta my head today!
You look FAB at the tea party!!
Pretty tea party dress!
Oh yeah, I'd pay for this service. *winks*
a gal can get everything in nyc del. to her front door. : ) xoxo
All it takes is money, and you have have everything.
ooh lala! so cute! milk does a body good
I think it's pretty fun. And you look GORGEOUS in that wrap dress!
wOOo… I REALLY LOVE this draw dress!! are so ccutee!!

…muamua!!*
I think it would be cool. My ex used to grow up with a milk delivery….me….powdered milk because of my dang brother's allergy to real milk.
Powdered milk blows because sometimes people forget to rinse the soap out well of the milk container, added too much water or if made right before a meal, would be warm.
I wish these guys existed when I grew up. If they did, I wouldn't have to relive the memories of drinking crappy "pseudo" milk on other bloggers comment board.
Yum about the Manhattan Milk thing, lol!
I love your outfit
Haha they hotties! I might be temped based on that alone.
Also, love the shoes you are wearing with the dress.
I'd pay for that. Organic, grass-fed milk in a glass bottle is totally up my alley in terms of eco-friendliness (I can return the bottles right) and organic things for my body
$4.99 for a quart.. what is that? like less than one regular litre?
I pay $7 for 3 Ls of milk because I can't get good milk. But if I could get that, I'd pay the $15
oh sweet goodness…i'm lactose intolerant but i'd order milk anyway!! ha! i love the dress, super cute!
they can deliver my milk…cheese ..yogurt… whatever they like ^^
PS: loved ur pic from the tea party
People will pay for anything organic– meow! Sorry I've been MIA from the blog– but speaking of meows– you were sizzling hot at the virtual tea party. Can't wait to hang with you IRL soon! xx
Um, if those guys are delivering, I'll order whatever they've got!
