The #1 location for 24/7 street-side kosher garbage
While I’m getting annoyances off my back, I thought I’d mention a few others. One is the use of the street as a garbage bin. 
I was surprised to find that a few people do recycle in New York City, but this can’t really be a large crowd. The garbage bags are just too full and too many. I consider the pile of rubbish out front one of the more prominent outdoor features of Crown Heights’s famous 770 Eastern Parkway. It seems they have simply never heard of council-provided garbage bins here, and from Flatbush to Broadway, people are seen passing big green plastic balls of smell with their noses covered.
The other annoyance is more just a feature of New York’s famous arrogance. It is hard to walk down a popular street without seeing a restaurant that advertises itself as “the #1″, “the best”, or “famous”. Sometimes, if you are lucky, it will qualify this statement of grandeur with a limitation like “in Park Slopes” (a neighbourhood of Brooklyn). Still, I wonder how many people are more likely to go into a restaurant that advertises itself (without citation) as the best in town…
But NYC is still good. It has 24/7 kosher doughnuts for instance.
