Hey @bluebottleroast your uws location on Amsterdam and 73rd has employees more interested in their phone than making drinks or properly remembering orders.
Which means anyone with a car
The following City Council members representing constituents in the MTA's conjured congestion taxation zone are quietly demanding immediate relief for residents who will subject to taxation for merely choosing to leave their homes via a car.
@KeithPowersNYC
@CarlinaRivera
@nycdistrict1
@ebottcher
Every member of the Assembly, State Senate, US House of Reps, and Senators with constituents in the zone must demand the same.

WTF IS GOING ON ?
The NYPD released surveillance footage of a man wanted for throwing a flaming container at subway riders inside the West 28th Street 1-line station in Chelsea on the evening of Monday, Feb. 5.
Video shows him holding two containers filled with fire near the turnstiles shortly before 7:40 p.m. that night.
He hurled one of the containers at a group of people who were standing on the southbound platform waiting for a train.
The burning container apparently missed the group, and no one was injured.
He then fled on foot and remains at large. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.

Whoopi Goldberg of all people rips Kathy Hochul a new one on congestion taxation and the decision to manufacture congestion via inane street design, notably bike lane implementation.

An E-bike is not a bike. It is 19x as dangerous. Please stop conflating the two! These crashes are "hit and run" 95% of the time. Another reason they need plates for accountability! @NYCCouncil stop the insanity! Tap the brakes! @BobHoldenNYC @JulieMenin

If a resident of this block of any other block below 60th, wishes to get in his/her/their car, paid for with after tax dollars, to get authentic Bangladeshi food in Astoria or authentic Thai food in Astoria, he/she/they will be charged a $15 tax by the MTA for the mere crime of having diversity in food choice.
It’s not just Manhattan small businesses that stand to lose from creating a fiefdom.

Effective this morning at 0900hrs, NYC will reduce staffing on all 5th man Fire Engines. This is extremely dangerous. At a point where fire deaths are up & NYC is experiencing fast moving Lithium Ion fires, the Door Firefighter position is instrumental in getting a hose line in place quick. Home furnishings these days are made up of material that burns hotter & faster than legacy furniture, getting water on the fire as quickly as possible is a game changer in saving life & property. All Fire Engines should have the 5th firefighter but now none in the #FDNY will.
Hey @Citi I am tired of your atm location on 25th and Park Ave South not being a safe place. I just walked in and found two men doing drugs and a third guy homeless who has set up his place there. You used to have a security guard but no longer. I no longer feel safe in there.

A big win for @nyc_evsa ! Thanks to @AlexBores @bradhoylman for introducing this common sense legislation. @StreetsblogNYC will never give us credit, but damn proud! Bravo! Safety 1st!
Lawmakers look to have all mopeds registered BEFORE LEAVING STORE.

I just want to register my absolute outrage that @uber and @lyft are now allowed to add an unlimited amount of cars to our streets while the politicians decry "congestion" simultaneously. @KeithPowersNYC @JulieMenin @AlexBores @SeawrightForNY @NYCMayor

I know this may be asking a lot these days, but please let your heart break for this shell-shocked Palestinian boy.
Just allow your heart to break as he tries to hold back his tears and finally lets go.

New from @brandyzadrozny:
The Epoch Times is now the 4th-most subscribed to newspaper in America. Its revenue grew 685% in two years to $122 mill.
The paper is run by Falun Gong, a Chinese religious sect, and claims Jan. 6 and climate change are hoaxes.

There’s so much I don’t understand about the NYC garbage plan.
- How will the sanitation workers roll them out to street when cars are tightly parked?
- How much noisier will overnight collection be with a mechanical arm moving at every address?
- Will the city prevent additional manufacturers from making compatible bins?
- Will people steal a bin from their neighbors at night to save the $50?

I was on my way to soundcheck for @iHeartRadio tonight in Vegas and was tipping this incredible woman killing some Tina Turner and then she asked me to sing and had no clue who I was, and then it hit her, and it made my day! She gives the best hugs and sings her tail off! See ya tonight Vegas ❤️ #iHeartFestival2023

I'm quoted here speaking for @nyc_evsa . Yes, we applaud the @NYPDnews and @NYPDCentralPark for quickly shutting down a business that rented plateless motorcycles capable of 60mph to children to drive around @NYPDCentralPark . Really going out on a limb!

This incredible Maui rescue story…
Lahaina resident Jubee Bedoya was trying to escape the incredibly fast moving fire by making a desperate run for the ocean when he encountered a family of five from California. The father handed him his two year-old son, and they waited into the water together.
The child is seen clinging to Bedoya’s neck as the group held onto a piece of floating wood. Bedoya said they were in the water for 2 to 3 hours. They were among 17 people rescued by the Coast Guard.

NYC/esp Western Queens fam: I officially leave NYC a week from today and am in a desperate sprint to sell a ton of furniture! Among the items are: a loveseat couch, an armchair, a five-drawer dresser, two area rugs, a round side table, and a hanging shoe rack.

i’m sorry i can’t think of a joke funnier than twitter failing to get the necessary permits to change their building signage and the police shutting it down just in time for “er” to remain
