How to deal with people using “laptop offices” in coffee shops for 8+ hours?

Before all the “THEY’RE PAYING CUSTOMERS TOO” people downvote me, let’s be real. The new norm is that people treat small cafes like their personal WeWork. They buy one $4 coffee and occupy a 4-person table for an entire business day. Next I know people will shout: “BUT WHAT IF THEY’RE WORKING ON IMPORTANT STUFF?”

Cops always on phone

Anyone else ever notice that every time you walk by a cop, they are ALWAYS on their phones playing games, watch YouTube or texting? Does a core part of their job require them to text? I don’t want to assume they are not allowed to do this on the job but if they are not,

Carne Asada bowl from a food truck. I was expecting something that looked like Chipotle

I got lunch from a food truck on 49th and 6th and was looking for something tasty and easy to eat. I was not expecting this. It was seasoned well but it was impossible to eat with just a plastic fork and knife. It is taking me days to cut through. submitted by /u/owjim [link]

When did Sweet Green get weird?? Any recommendations for alternative salad places around Wall Street?

I’m trying to get back to eating salads, so I went to Sweet Green today on Wall Street. A robot made my salad, and it did a bad job. So I’m wondering if people have suggestions for some good alternatives? I know there is a Just Salad nearby, but I’ve never been a big fan

If you fell off of the East River Ferry, should you swim towards Manhattan or Brooklyn?

Is this a weird question? Yes. Has it plagued me for a really long time? Also yes. Check it out, if you swam towards Manhattan the coastline would probably be easier to find a spot to get out of the water, I think. But it ends sooner. You could go towards Brooklyn which is longer,

I created a custom Google Map with this subreddit’s most popular restaurants

It currently has the top 100 posts from February, sorted by upvotes. I then filtered to only posts that review a single restaurant and used a combination of AI and the Google Maps API to fetch the proper maps links and locations, before exporting it to a shareable custom Google Map. Tapping on any of

Liebman’s Deli in The Bronx. God damn. My socks were knocked way off. The Liebman’s Special may be my favorite dish I’ve ever had at a Jewish Deli. I can’t wait to try their Westchester location.

They also give you free bread to make multiple sandwiches piled high with meat! It really doesn’t get much better than this. submitted by /u/destlp16 [link] [comments]

Refettorio Harlem is a nonprofit that feeds the community two nights a week with dignity from a fully stocked kitchen with newly appointed executive Chef Kayla Phillips. To fundraise they started Chef’s Lab to offer patrons an opportunity to enjoy the food with
