MTA Doomsday Plan passed! Call your senator today.

As you may or may not know, the MTA is proposing a massive 23% fare hike to deal with their budget shortfall.  

To prevent this, the state government in Albany needs to pass the Ravitch/Silver plan - which asks all sectors to contribute to keep our city on the move – but a handful of senators are holding out against it.

Call your State Senator TODAY (deadline is Wednesday) and tell them:

To prevent 23% fare hikes and drastic service cuts, support the Ravitch/Silver plans!

I live on the west side of Manhattan and my Senator is Duane at (518) 455-2451.

In a future post, I will post about how to save money on the MTA - including best credit cards to use, pre-tax options, and other tricks!

Free Peanut Butter Anyone?

AMERICA'S PEANUT FARMERS TRAVEL TO NEW YORK CITY TO MEET CONSUMERS, WORK TO REBUILD TRUST IN ALL THINGS PEANUT.

Yes, this is actually happening. In fact, Midtownlunch has a report on it, with a reader saying :

“I got a free apple, free small container of peanut butter to dip pre-cut apples in (which I also got). Other items include peanut energy bars, peanut brittle bars, small packages of peanut M&Ms, and as many spoonful samples of Peanut Butter & Co. peanut butter as you can get away with.”

If you're in the area, or just love free peanut butter products. You have until 7:30pm today!
