This time, I wasn’t even the one waiting. I was on lunch, walking back to work. I saw an elderly couple with two young children (assuming grandkids) waiting at the stop. The bus driver looked in their direction and just kept driving. He had a red light just a few feet away, so he ended […]

I commute to midtown Manhattan daily for work and often rely on local affordable eateries to sustain myself. I work in service & while customers are still buying, my paycheck dropped nearly 40% since October & food costs keep rising so every cent counts when I’m looking for fast calories. 2 bros has been a
Not sure if it’s the exact location, sort of an odd corner near Hudson Yards, lack of marketing or something else, but a mostly empty room on a Sunday night. Surprising considering it’s the latest from Erik Ramirez from the (I thought) well respected Llama Group, and especially surprising considering how strong this meal was.

Throwaway for obvious reasons. I moved to NYC three years ago for work (finance). At first, the whole “decompress with a drink after a brutal day” thing felt normal. Everyone does it, right?

Before one could say don’t patronize the business, but now it’s almost everywhere, so it’s hard to avoid. So many food establishments and really any service as well – florists, cobbler, etc. Larger grocery stores are still not doing it. I’ve filed complaints with 311 on a couple of businesses. Both ended up with notices

To any non-NYC local who may be seeing this thread: DO NOT accept rides from people who approach you at arrival offering uber/taxi service.
