Hey @bluebottleroast your uws location on Amsterdam and 73rd has employees more interested in their phone than making drinks or properly remembering orders.

[Jee Won Park @JeeWPark]

@MatthewRhys Whoa. I never thought of that

[Jee Won Park @JeeWPark]

Which means anyone with a car

[Reza Chowdhury @RezaC1]

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 ?

[Jee Won Park @JeeWPark]

@BobHoldenNYC Come to Washington Heights and get rid of those too

[Reza Chowdhury @RezaC1]

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.

[Andrew Fine @AFineBlogger]

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.

[Jee Won Park @JeeWPark]

@rosannascotto @JeniferRajkumar Yes. 1000%

[Jee Won Park @JeeWPark]

So sad!

[Liza Mosquito de Guia 🎥 @SkeeterNYC]

Saying goodbye to Essex Market’s The Market Line Food Hall. It’s too bad they couldn’t never figure out foot traffic. It was always kinda dead in here.

I hope vendors like Salon Sucre and End’s Meat find new Manhattan homes.

@FreshDirect I very much dislike how loud your trucks are while they just idle and pollute the air

[Jee Won Park @JeeWPark]

@SantosCooks @peacock @NFL 1000% agree

[NYCFireWire @NYCFireWire]

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.

@dlukenelson @shermanelis Happened to me

[Jee Won Park @JeeWPark]

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.

[Andrew Fine @AFineBlogger]

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.

Children are always innocent.

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?
