Best of East Village: C-Town Supermarket

How to navigate the insane long lines at Trader Joe’s in Union Square (New York)

The lines at the Trader Joe’s Union Square are unlike any other Trader Joe’s in the country. The queue for the cashier is more akin to the release of the new iPhone. Really.

Review: Chinatown’s Good Luck (Lucky Express) Car Service

It’s comforting when you get to a point where you can trust a service to consistently deliver (whether a haircut, laundry service, or fried yuca); it allows one to put energy into more important things in life.

Hotels.com Price Match: Make your own discount with Hotels.com’s “Best Price Guarantee”

When you’ve booked a hotel on hotels.com, don’t assume you’ve gotten the best price possible. You may be able to get it cheaper, but you have to put some work into it.

Ebola Truth: It’s really hard to get Ebola

I’m not concerned with Ebola (yet). Still, everyone seems to be freaking out about it so I find myself reading up on it more than I normally would following a “big” story.

Best of East Village: The Roost coffee shop/bar

The Roost opened around the corner from me a few months ago. On Avenue B between 13th and 14th street, I walked by the cozy little coffee shop several times and kept telling myself that I would stop in at some point.

Citi Bike Review: Is Citi Bike Worth $100? Hell Yes.

I resisted Citi Bike for nearly a year. I liked the idea of the city’s bikeshare program, but since I already had a monthly MTA pass, my own bike sitting at home, I pushed off Citi Bike as a nice-to-have, but was more a luxury that I would only use from time-to-time.
