NY Post does it again…really simply mistake that goes to press: They wrote that Spike’s old office on DeKalb is selling and that he has a new office in “nearby Fort Greene”. The two locations are a block or two away from each other. The DeKalb Avenue building that is for sale IS in Fort Greene.
How about every time you want to “munch on” an $11.87 frozen yogurt you make a donation of the same amount to a food bank so others can eat:

Isn’t that froyo place the one that’s paying $14,000 per month for rent??? This business model was designed by some kind of idiot!!!
I find it incredible that people take the shuttle for commuting and then complain about the schedule. It wasn’t set up, I’m sure at great expense, to accommodate people with no intention of shopping. I think cmu has a solution, but $1.00 isn’t going to make a difference.
the author of the frozen-yogurt article needs to open a thesaurus and find some synonyms for “munched on.”
Don’t see why IKEA can’t charge, say, $1 and have it reimbursed if you go to IKEA. They’ll be compensated for all the commuters and still keep goodwill
