    Is a town car or a taxi a better way to get from JFK to midtown Manhattan?

    Well, if money's no object, and the rate's about the same anyway, get the Town Car. It's gonna be more comfortable, and the driver will be waiting for you and can help with your bag! Good luck!...

    What does "BOSHE" mean? My friend said she is going to a "Boshe" restaurant in San Jose?

    The word is "Posh" meaning high-class and swanky, like ex-Spice Girl, Victoria Beckham, who's also known as "Posh Spice."

    Should I pursue a career in Art?

    Well, a "career" in art can mean several things... I mean, there's "fine art" like you see in museums, and "commercial art" like, for example, magazine illustrations and that sort of stuff, and there's also "graphic design," like, for example, designing graphics for the internet and business...

    Why do we do a debate in english class?

    Actually, unlike a LOT of what is taught in school, debating, aka arguing, is actually a VERY useful skill after you graduate, and THAT'S why they make you do it! Trust me, one day you'll be out in the real world and you will have to argue/debate a point with a co-worker or boss, and you'll...

    What is a good size and brand crank set for my 2009 Fuji Track bike?

    Well, when you say, "my cages and straps scrape against the ground," do you mean that you're putting your foot on the underside of the pedal so that the cages and straps are hanging down below the pedal as you ride? If so, you're doing it wrong and you should either remove the cages and straps...

    Restaurants in New York City?

    You wrote, "...my friend doesn't like Asian food (which is a bummer because I'd LOVE to have Chinese food..." Go to a Cuban-Chinese restaurant on the Upper West Side! That way you can order from the Chinese side of the menu, and your friend can order from the Cuban side, and you'll both be...

    Renting a car in NYC (Manhattan) in weekday?

    No, don't rent a car to get around New York City! It's the WORST way to travel in town! I would suggest that you just take taxis, and let the taxi driver worry about the traffic and the route, and, best of all, when you get to where you're going, you leave the car behind and don't have to find...

    Why does America have so many military bases in Germany?

    Well, in a nutshell, it's 'cause they lost WWII. Believe me, if WE had lost WWII, there would be German military bases all over North America, but we didn't, so there aren't, simple as that, really!

    what are the basics to know about going to new jersey garden state mall from...

    Don't worry about it, the Garden State Plaza mall is on Route 4 and there are about a dozen different buses that run along Route 4 to the George Washington Bridge Bus Terminal, so, even if you miss one, don't worry about it there'll be another very soon. Actually, rather than take the buses...

    Is there a place in new york to hike?

    OK, this gets a little complicated, but it's worth it, OK? Take the subway up to the George Washington Bridge and get off the train and walk across the bridge on the North side of the bridge's pedestrian walkway, not on the South side. When you get to the Jersey side of the bridge, look around...

    I have an old "Open Road" bicycle?

    Well, it turns out that the "Open Road" line of bicycles were sold in Montgomery Ward department stores, so, like most department store bikes, they just weren't very good quality. However, that having been said, it seems that nowadays, since the Montgomery Ward company went out of business...

    How much does it cost to repair a bike?

    Well, just take it to your LBS (Local Bike Shop) and let them fix it for you. It sounds like all it needs is for the chain to be unjammed and put back on the gears, and, if that's so, then it shouldn't cost much, maybe only, like 5 bucks or so. Be aware, however, that they will try to sell you...

    Bicycling on the subway?

    Well, technically, you are allowed to bring your bike on the train, but during a crowded rush hour, you are going to piss a LOT of people off and get glared at a lot, too! I mean, you could probably get away with it just fine at "off-peak hours," but, during rush hour, no way, José! Good luck...
