"216 Sal's Deli & Grocery is a local deli and grocery store located at 216 Avenue B in the East Village (Alphabet City), New York, NY 10009."
I was mugged and almost killed near East Village while waiting for my credit union to process some paperwork. Before that I could sing, and after that, I can't; the surgery was about $15,000 in 1998. Location of financial institution needs to be better considered.
Weird. In ~1998 I was also almost killed by a gang member when I was trying to save money by living in the Bronx rather than the other boroughs. It's OK to complain about the Bronx. And it's important not to live in cities, and to stay away from Marxists of every stripe. I was more ignorant then, of course, but I bet I would have left earlier if Mandami was elected back then. That complaining kid should connect the dots and realize he shouldn't live in cities.
