]]> Apple tree http://www.nynice.com/archives/18 Fri, 09 Jun 2006 23:45:26 +0000 http://www.nynice.com/archives/18 Went to the new Apple Store on 5th Avenue and was blown away by the customer service. It’s like a big bushel of helpers. I didn’t go five feet in either direction of the new MacBook I was spying without some nice Apple worker asking to make sure I was okay. Not pushy, just genuinely helpful. I love it there.

]]> See a penny http://www.nynice.com/archives/17 Thu, 08 Jun 2006 19:25:58 +0000 http://www.nynice.com/archives/17 On the LIRR the other day I found a fiver under my seat, toward the rear of the third car (7:30 a.m. train coming in from Hicksville station — if it’s yours, let me know and I’ll get it back to you). Nice to get the day started like that.

Anyway, decided to share the wealth — pay-it-forward — and gave it to the conductor and asked her to pass it along to whomever else in the train that could use it. She looked at me weird, but then she smiled and went on her way. I hope that someone made use of it.

Unbeknownst to me, a little kid was watching over me, picked it up and ran it over to me. Very nice of him. Thanks little guy! Made my day.

Bar (12th and Washington) in the West Village is awesome. Maybe the nicest (if a little loopy) bar owners I know, he runs a nice shop with interesting music and a killer sense of humor.

Cheers, Greg!

]]> Good Morning Montauk http://www.nynice.com/archives/14 Sat, 27 May 2006 22:07:12 +0000 http://www.nynice.com/archives/14 This morning we were welcome by happy and nice contractors rebuilding a beach access staircase on the northshore of Montauk. After a nice morning walk along the beach with our dog, a contractor and his young son were neatly laying out 2x4s getting ready for the day when he looked up with a kind, “have a great weekend.” And a great long weekend we had indeed. Montauk is for sure a place full of nice people.

]]> $1.50 Pabst? http://www.nynice.com/archives/13 Wed, 24 May 2006 22:29:36 +0000 http://www.nynice.com/archives/13 Seriously? In NYC? Lion’s Head Inn, 109th and Amsterdam. Everyday. Now, it comes in cans, but even better.

Why is this NICE? Cuz the bartenders are really cool and very awesome.

]]> B&J so nice http://www.nynice.com/archives/12 Wed, 24 May 2006 04:33:14 +0000 http://www.nynice.com/archives/12 The nicest store clerk ever was working the last shift at B&J Scoop Shop on 104th and Broadway tonight. He was your standard nice and helpful guy, then added the art of friendly conversation on top by asking our opinion on the chocolate used in certain flavors. You’d think he owned the place. Give that man a raise!
