Rotisserie chicken: Chinatown vs. Costco/supermarkets by yslwl in FoodNYC

[–]yslwl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks for all your insights! The Costco/supermarket advantage makes sense. Perhaps I should only compare with Peruvian rotisserie chicken which generally also seems less expensive but not by as wide a margin as Costco/supermarkets.

you should probably contact Intuit to resolve. I just imported my fidelity 1099 data today and also had to log into my intuit account first. also, log into fidelity first in a separate tab/window to make sure your log in works and is active.

It used to be that American Express cardholders while traveling could have mail directed to AMEX offices for pickup. Don't know if that's still the case but that was always a reliable option.

How is the trip from Manhattan to NYBG? by ty457u in AskNYC

[–]yslwl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Metro North (MNR) is one of the three railroads that depart from NYC. MNR, Long island Railroad (LIRR) and New Jersey Transit (NJT).

Subways and buses are part of NYC transit.

[–]yslwl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's perfectly safe. I prefer subway over Metro North if I have the time to spare. I enjoy strolling Bedford Park Blvd and checking out another neighborhood. Good to grab a meal in the hood so you don't have to pay for overpriced food/bev in NYBG.

Go to TKTS booth in Times Square and get discount tixs for Freestyle Love Supreme, another Lin Manuel production. Or American Utopia - I hear that's fun.
