Danny Meyer may be on to something fair, just and equitable. He is eliminating the tipping pain for all of US.

This mathematics and popularity ritual is apparently discomforting to more than just the customer. Did you know that the chef, who is cooking your meal in the hot kitchen is not benefiting from the gratuity you leave on the table.

CITY IMAGES visited one of the world's most famous cooking schools and spoke with students, who are $40K in tuition debt, or more before earning their degree, just to slave inside a kitchen for low wages to please our pallet.

The brilliant performance by ace Clayton Kershaw in Game 4 of the National League Division Series forced LA Dodgers and MY Mets to play today in a winner-take-all Game 5 in California.

The Dodgers other firenall, Zack Greinke, will take on Mets Jack or all trades. Jacob deGrom in what promises to be a hard-fought battle from the pitchers' mound.

The match-up of these MLB professional teams representing the nation's two largest media markets promises to draw plenty of attention despite the relative lack of past playoffs between these two major league baseball clubs, but thanks to previous drama of the first four games, which included the controversial Chase Utley's slide that broke Ruben Tejada's leg, this clash of the titans has become the postseason's most compelling sports rivalry.

The winner will go on to face the Chicago Cubs, an American team, which is hungry because it has been fighting to make it to its first World Series since 1945.

Democratic presidential candidates take the debate stage in Las Vegas under the time-honored rules of presidential debating, alone, unaided, defending their candidacies with only their wits and smiles.

US ANIMAL HOUSE?

Submitted by Admin on

Does anyone know why Congress has fallen to an all time low, with a single digit approval rating?

It's not because it continues to fail in approving their agenda. That's not it. The US public sees our dysfunctional Congress, which appears to act more like an animal house divided than a house of representatives for The United States of America.
