  • Makes Me Laugh -- Elites With Furrowed Brows AT LAST - -

    So, the FDIC Chairman is a female children's book author from Massachusetts, who started her new job running security for our Nation's bank deposits since 2006? How fortunate for her. I am a Massachusetts/New Hampshire working guy going back to 1990, originally from the Midwest, with some college but no degree, and I have been ''getting ...

  • How tourists are changing New York

    European tourists spending cheap dollars have made a cultural as well as an economic impact on the city. I remember the seventies, when New York had relatively few tourists, European or American. Everybody was too afraid of crime and being mugged. That started to change in the nineties and now New York is swarming with tourists. I believe ...

I knew I had to spread the word. I was also motivated to start ...

  • Retail solution: bring in foreign tourists

    Americans may not be consuming these days, but the streets of Manhattan are clogged with overseas tourists buying like crazy because of the cheap dollar. They come in on cheap package tours for a long weekend with giant, empty suitcases (or they buy the suitcases once they get here) and fill'er up. Because of the VAT and the degraded dollar, it's ...

  • Cashmere Mafia

    Is this really what New York City has become? I moved away three years ago after 20 years in the magazine business (back in the days when Conde Nast Office Services used to bring you chilled bottle of Veuve Cliquot for office birthday parties) but the world was not so shallow and money obsessed. More importantly, are the women on Cashmere Mafia ...

  • The Spike

    While you allude to this info in the slide show, it's important to emphasize that ''The Spike,'' (as Dubliners like to call it) was intended to be Ireland's ''millennium monument,'' despite its 2003 unveiling. Maybe George Pataki could have noted this when he vowed to see the new WTC rise before he left office. Also worth noting is the beloved ...
