Nu Hotel’s Growing Pains [Brooklyn Paper]
How could the owners of the Nu Hotel be shocked that the long-standing bus stop in front of their entrance is actually, um, picking up and dropping off riders? There are no significant “bus fumes.” NYC Buses are mostly fueled by CNG or some version of it that is amazingly fume-free. Eff you, Nu, and welcome to the real neighborhood.
Re: Dire Straits Diary [NY Post]
I guess in New York they’re up but I hear elsewhere that car repo’s are down because dealers have a better shot at banking on a payment turn-around than reselling for a bigger loss (or reselling at all). Interesting.
