Russell, 30, loves his west side neighborhood, especially Chelsea Market on Ninth Avenue. But the well-read attorney is still looking for the perfect shopping partner.
Float on
Russell’s favorite place in the city is the Grace Hotel because they have a swim-up bar and a steam room.
Pet factor
Don’t expect any puppy love from Russell: “I think keeping a pet in a NYC apartment is absurd.”
Taylor-made
Move over Jake Gyllenhaal! Russell has a crush on Taylor Swift.
Gentle man
Russell says he’s a big softie at heart: “I literally cannot bring myself to hurt a fly.”

Russell is happiest when reading a good novel. The last one he devoured was Emma Donoghue’s “Room.”
Workaholic
Admitting he’s often stressed, Russell hopes his date will be more easygoing and relaxed.
Couch potato
Playing video games is his biggest guilty pleasure.
