Last time we were in NYC over Christmas, I was hoping to find a nice downtown fancy bar and have a Tom and Jerry on Christmas Eve. Alas, could not find one. Just a shot in the dark but maybe someone on the boards lives in the city and knows where I might be served one, even it if it is way overpriced (which I would expect).
But we did have a great experience with the famous FDNY on that trip. After returning from out stay at an AirBNB in the Bed-Sty area, I called FDNY and was surprised it was easy to reach the Fire Marshall office. I reported that the front door of the AirBNB we stayed at had no door knob, but instead had two dead bolts to keep it locked and secured. But no knobs for the dead bolts on the inside of the door. In other words, one needed the key to not only get into the multi-apartment two-story building…but also one needed a key to exit that building. I gave the Fire Marshall the address, and mentioned I hoped someone could make contact with the building owner sometime in the future to get it corrected. He laughed and said he already had an engine on the way. Within the hour I got 10 or so very nasty emails and texts from the AirBnB host. Our son in law walked over to the building and took a picture. FDNY had been there and cut out both deadbolts out of the door. I was very impressed.
