I agree with you about doormen, NOP. Having my first experience with them now – and they definitely do lots of important stuff for the buildings they work in.
I’m shocked how long hours many of them work, and how quick they are at learning the names of people.
I went to Banana Republic at lunch and they said to me, “Next guest”.
What?
When did store customers become “guests”? This isn’t the first BR store where I heard that. I think there is a global BR training center, set up by a Charter school rebel dropout.
” so why make invidious distinctions?” — I agree with that. I can never understand this us vs them.. to me all the same great city. Why hate part of it?
NOP, any chance we can persusade you to come out to Brooklyn for a gathering??
ENY, I have one word for you: PLASTICS. Kidding. TiVo!!!!! Now, c’mon, drinks are on me!! Come out with us and you’ll forget all about that pesky volcano in Canada or Iceland or whatever the hell Arctic Circle country it’s in.
Typical. Trust fund ninja hipster with a doorman.
“Why hate part of it?”
Becaused we’re Brooklynites, damn it!! We like to be cantankerous!!

“N train is faster during non-peak times. D is faster (for whatever reason) than all of them.”
seems so many train lines converge in downtown brooklyn and share tracks, even tho they don’t stop at the same stations.
that’s why I love my L train – that shit flies to Union Square!!

And I happen to love NFL football
“NFL Draft wins.”
That actually sounds even more loserish than hanging out with a bunch of drunken PLUSAs.
