Says the man who rides around in a taxpayer-funded SUV
"My advice to New Yorkers is do not buy a car," says de Blasio on Thursday. Cars, he said, represent "the past." (Critics say de Blasio has done far too little to ameliorate rising traffic congestion, as New Yorkers avoid mass transit. No HOV lanes on bridges, etc.)

Paging all tourists: please refresh yourself in the basics of walking before visiting the city. 1. Don’t stop to text or to chat immediately after getting off an escalator. That can cause a pileup. 2. Don’t stand to the left when riding an escalator. That causes delays. Thank you
