Some local businesses are kindly giving away delicious stuff to people with “I Voted” stickers on Tuesday.
Becky Frey holds up an I Voted sign as she waits for coffee at Mille-Feuille.
So far we know of two places with giveaways. Mille Feuille, the bakery and coffee shop on Broadway between 76th and 77th Street, is giving away coffee to people with stickers, Becky Frey tells us.
Birch on Columbus and 97th is also apparently giving away coffee.
And Playa Betty’s on 75th and Amsterdam is giving away Paloma Shots (frozen margaritas) to people with I Voted stickers. They’re also givign away something called Blue Floaters, but the employee we spoke with didn’t know what they were. Bottoms up! (Sorry 18-year-olds, you can vote but you can’t drink, so you only get half the fun.)
The town shop is giving 20 percent off if you have your sticker
Much healthier!
My voting place ran out of stickers at 500. Normal voting at that time would have been 150.
Irving Farm is also giving away free coffee to poeple with I Voted stickers!
free coffee whoop-de-do
No stickers and broken machines at 150 West End Avenue(Lincoln towers)location. In addition, women sitting at the desk were incapable of reading your name. This is what my taxes pay for? Shame on the Board of Elections. I called 212 886-2100 and expressed myself completely.
… and humble pie served everywhere.
Congratulations Donald Trump! As I’ve stated here before, this country does not think like the Upper West Side. Goodbye forever Clintons!
Congrats on the win.
This country’s record for at least the next two years is all “yours” – so lots and lots of people are carefully watching and hoping for success for you and for all of us.
God bless America… Best wishes and best of luck.
Be careful what you wish for UWSHebrew!
I hope you, and anyone else who voted for him, will still teach your children that the way he speaks and behaves is wrong. Otherwise there’s no hope.
I would teach youth the sobering reality that politicians should not, as a rule, be looked to as exemplars of integrity.
Yes, a man who (among many other things) has not only publicly boasted of serially bedding married women (that would be bad enough) but who, when asked if he had ever felt the need to ask forgiveness from G-d, could not recall a time that he had, has just been elected to the highest office of the land, the most powerful and influential one in the world. Am I concerned about the precedent and example set by this? Yes, I am, though at this point*, I’m not sure how much of a difference it really makes. (To paraphrase a much-quoted statement from the individual who was just defeated by the President-elect.)
(*I.e., after Bill Clinton’s Presidency; his wife’s impunity; nearly every form of sexual deviancy and degeneracy not only normalized but officially sanctioned, promoted and even sacralized; a state in which perpetual wars of murderous aggression considered are considered not only normal but fully justified and even noble; etc., etc.)
I chose Trump because I saw this as The Flight 93 Election. My particular rationale for doing so despite the man’s lurid and rakish behavior and any number of other misgivings I had about him, I found to be largely articulated in this piece.
On a conciliatory note, I see at least three major areas where there is much common ground between large segments of those who supported Trump and large segments of those who opposed him:
– foreign policy
– trade
– Demands for greater scrutiny of and accountability from the financial sector (i.e., Big Banks and Wall Street)
I think it can accurately be said that in all three of the above areas, the positions articulated by Trump during the campaign were at least closer, often quite considerably so, to those of Bernie Sanders than to those of Hillary (Rodham-)Clinton.
Let those of us who share common ground in the above areas join forces in holding Trump to his word on them.
How about we teach our children not to lie cheat and steal like Hillary
Geo — so right. The Clinton “CHARITY” paid for the wedding of Chelsea (2 million dollars).
Sure, let’s teach them that too. Let’s teach our kids to be better than both candidates. If your problem with Hillary is honesty and you think Trump tells the truth, you’re living in a dreamworld.
you got that right hebrew
These specials should be continued until UWS and NYC residents can come to grips with our new reality.
Maybe they should hand out pocket-sized Constitutions, which most UWS residents have never read. 🙂
Went to Birch and was told “I THIINK we stopped doing that at 12:00 pm and as I exited and I even said that “I
would have loved to try their coffee as I never had it” they also seemed not to care. I’m not even sure they ever even gave free coffee at all. Thanks for nothing Birch.
