Weren’t all the subway lines privately run at that point?

Yeah, for sure. It might be interesting to make that if you can get the data and have the time. Given how other tickets cost like $5, I do wonder whether the idea of say a $3.50 ticket is viable as a way of increasing fare revenue.

Holy shit these ppl are racist as fuck. Was confused about the upvotes/downvotes in here until I remembered what kind of restaurant it was.

Yup! The arrivals “hall” area you do not need a boarding pass for - ask the uber driver to drop you off at arrivals and you can go right in.

True, but they’ll likely give you a probation window of a week or two for you to clean things up and try again. Unless it’s really bad.

The scam is so much more likely. Worked in a lot of gross restaurants with a lot of dumb people, but no one’s fucking dumb enough to actually let an animal fall into a boiling hot pot and not notice. Don’t you think it would splash? Don’t you think it would squeal? Cooks stir the soup before they ladle it out. They stare at the pot to do that. The kitchens have lights. I know this is all mindblowing. Rats or mice in the restaurant? Very likely, here in NYC. Mice are more likely overall, but I’ve seen rats too. Almost certainly cockroaches somewhere in every restaurant as well, even if only in small number and mostly unseen.
But, to answer your question: what is more likely? Well I’ve seen 0 animals in food in my time working in NYC and I’ve had countless clueless, cheap, bored, or outright scammy customers complaining about some shit that isn’t the restaurant’s fault or business. So idk how you managed to get all the yuppies upvoting your clueless armchair guess, but it’s wildly off base.
edit: didn't realize you actually shared my POV lol. Sorry, but what I said still stands for all the racists in here.

Honestly these people sound a bit lazy and entitled, and like they were so focused on simply having an outdoor space they didn't even consider the issues and work that can come with it.
I rent a first floor apt with a small yard. Every year in the spring we spend a weekend cleaning the dead plants and leaves, add some new plants if others didn't take well or grow back. In the summer we make time to water plants daily and pull weeds weekly. We make sure drains aren't clogged to avoid water pooling for mosquitos to breed in, and clear plant debris so it doesn't build up to provide nesting for rats. Yes it's more work but it's really not that crazy, just requires a bit of manual labor.
In the mornings I drink my coffee and watch the various birds (that aren't pigeons!) show up. I've seen a mama raccoon with her babies run by. We have a fig tree and tomato plant that produce fruit every year. We plant herbs loved by caterpillars that turn into lovely butterflies. It can be so cool seeing some nature in the city and maintaining the space is worth it.
Sure there can be issues that are out of your control, like if the neighborhood has a rat or bug issue or the yard was not set up with proper drainage. But it sounds like these people thought their yards would somehow just take care of themselves and they could reap the benefits with no work.

Thank you. One thing I am unclear about is where I am allowed to go in the airport. For example, if I get dropped off by an Uber at departure entrance, can I get to where I need to be without a boarding pass?

I didn't understand your question. Perhaps if you tried proper English I could have a go.

Unless you are an industrial kitchen, there is literally zero reason to get any rice cooker bigger than a cereal bowl, or with more than 1 buttons.
