I just heard from a waitress that table three had two Coronas and a Mojito and skipped without paying. Oh the horrors of trying to make a living in NYC.

I'm sure the outrageous attitude at Cookshop will remain unseared.

"diners with plates in hand abandoned their al fresco dining"

Oh dear god no. I hope they asked for their food to go. This is terrible. I feel for the diners.

Oh and I hope no one got hurt cuz of that car fire thing.
