I am not going to name the store, because while they did do horrible things, they don’t deserve a public naming (in private I’d call them out in a heartbeat). Here are a few stories that happened, all in the same pizza shop, over the last few days: The manager (henceforth labeled “George”) talking to …
All Taxi & Limousine (TLC) cars in NYC have a little orange light on the front and back of the car, to alert the police if the driver is in trouble. The driver can activate it using his leg, so that if he was being held hostage while driving, he can press it without the …

Starting a new series today, called #FixNYC, in which I talk about ideas on how to fix New York City. I am starting with a few simple DOT (Department of Transportation) issues that can help clear up multiple choke points in lower Manhattan. ISSUE #1 On the FDR Drive South, just after Exit 3 (South …
