...subways to be brought up to a state of good repair (a visit to any subway station will indicate they're not there yet), the city doesn't have the power to enforce it. Similarly, the plan pushes new projects like the long-awaited Second Avenue subway line on Manhattan's far East Side. Those multibillion-dollar improvements were to be paid for in part by implementing congestion pricing in Manhattan - charging drivers to enter the most crowded part of the city. As an added benefit, congestion pricing would have helped unclog New York's sclerotic traffic, which now costs...
...since the opening of Fiorucci on East 59th Street in the 1970s or Reminiscence on MacDougal Street in the 1980s has a fast-fashion retail brand made such a splash in Manhattan. On Thursday morning the model Kate Moss will join Arcadia Group chairman Sir Philip Green to cut the ribbon on British retail chain Topshop's long-awaited U.S. debut, at Broadway and Broome Street in SoHo.

But that was a month ago. Now she is at Manhattan's Tompkins Square Park at 2 pm on a Tuesday, tossing an office telephone down a measured runway in the very first, and possibly only, Unemployment Olympics. "It's not like I have anywhere I have to be," she says, "I mean, not anymore." She is competing in the same white Nikes...
...trains also drop passengers off at downtown stations, while airports are usually built on the outskirts of cities. Train travel thus eliminates the need for a cab ride into the city, saving time and reducing traffic. It took me about three hours to go from Harvard Square to Midtown Manhattan; a bullet train would have cut my travel time in half...
