.@blinkfitness New York has ordered all gyms closed, can you publicize what will happen with our memberships during the closure? Will we not be charged during the time the gyms are closed or do we need to suspend/cancel our memberships? Thx

A big, big basket of thanks to @hudsonbway for all their work setting up the @RTB_Cheerful installation at David Byrne’s @americanutopia show in time for opening night. Theater manager Eric Paris and his team are magic people. ✨

1) Even though it ends at 3rd Ave traffic was clear all the way to Avenue A. 2) I saw several rideshare cars not dropping anyone off use empty 14th St as a one-longblock speedway to beat traffic. How to stop this?
