Drinking in Public

In Rome, they have beautiful public drinking fountains 
that have stood the test of time.

In New York City, we take what we can get.

Rocket Fuel

Although it looks like the control room at NASA, 
it's actually a Starbucks.
Remember when having a cup of coffee was so simple? 
Me neither.

A Tourist Line

Big news on the Great White Way: 
No more General Admission!
Starting today, when you purchase a ticket to a Broadway show, you will be assigned an actual seat of your choice. That's right! You no longer need to line up all the way down the block outside the theater for an hour before the show, only to scuffle and search for the best seat in the house. Simply present your pre-paid ticket at the theater, and your pre-assigned seat will be waiting for you. 
It's like magic - but real! 
      
Benefits include:
  • No more fights 
  • You sit where you chose to sit 
  • Less standing = Less knee pain
Spend that newfound spare time walking around and spending your money in our fair-priced city. Your purchases help keep city schools and homeless shelters alive. And, the exercise will help burn off those stubborn calories from your deep-fried meal at TGI Fridays. Plus, you'll have more time to stop in the middle of the sidewalk outside of Red Lobster to take photos, which you can then share with your homebound friends and family in a computer-generated holiday newsletter.
They don't call it the greatest city in the world for nuthin'!

Duh, you never just lock the tire! 
Explains why the other one is missing, I suppose.

Bad News Bike Rack

Saw this lovely display of homeless ingenuity ...
Then I noticed this very official note attached to the shopping cart ...
Some homeless people are such dicks.

UFO's and What Gets Me ...

... is that when I posted the story of witnessing UFO's in the sky over NYC yesterday afternoon, many of my closest friends mocked me. Literally, mocked me, like I was a nut job, a liar or stoned -- which I have indeed been at various times of my life and this week. People were even mocking us on the street as we watched. 3 dozen people got mocked!
Thing is, I never used the word aliens. Or spaceships. I just said UFO. And that was what it was. And it was thrilling. 
Thanks, New York for another experience that could only happen here. 
Here's a video of the crowd that I shot. Couldn't make out the shapes in the sky with my camera. The people were more interesting! UFO OVER NYC

NYC is the No. 1 Terror Target

According to the news and car bombs in Times Square, we're the Number One terrorist target, but we New Yorkers continue to love it here. I hope my simple design sends a message. And washes well.

Hence, an individual "may" jump the turnstile.
Really good warning, MTA.

Cold 'Za

This Italian joint called Mozzarelli's on 23rd & Park has Gluten Free pizza, and my agent is close by, so I eat there once a week.
Yesterday, I had a hankering for some of their awesome Artichoke pizza, so I stopped in for a quick bite. 
"I'll take a slice of the Gluten Free Artichoke, please. No need to heat it up. Just pop it on a plate and I'll eat it here", I said.
"Are you sure?", said the co-owner.
"Yup, just throw it on a plate. Looks great!"
"You don't want it cold."
"Well, I kinda do, actually."
"Nah. Lemme put it in the oven just for a minute ... "
"But, you really don't have to, I just ..."
"No. It tastes better warm," he said putting the $5.00 slice in the oven. "The crust gets crispier in the oven."
I wasn't happy. "If you insist. But, I was really in the mood for a slice of cold pizza."
He says, "Yeah, we tried to sell slices of cold pizza a while back, but no one wanted them."
"Not even college kids with hangovers?", I asked.
"Huh? What? No. It didn't sell."
"Well, I was just really in the mood for cold pizza and kind of in a rush", I lied.
The pizza came out of the oven all bubbly and toasty.
"Enjoy", said the proud co-owner.
"I will." And I did.
After I let it sit for 5 minutes to get cold.
