Issue #18: Bananas, Blue Angels, and the Big 2-5-0

Good afternoon, West Siders. We're the neighbor who can tell you where to watch the World Cup indoors, where to survive the heat with the littles, how to crack the code for getting a wheelchair into a Broadway show, and exactly where our own council member is celebrating the Fourth this weekend. Half the building's gone upstate for the weekend, and everyone still here is negotiating with a single window unit under a 100-degree sky. So we packed it full and draped it in red, white, and blue, because the country turns 250 on Saturday and the tall ships are sailing straight past Riverside to make sure you know it. Pour something cold. We did the running around so you don't have to. Let's Go!
