In a land before time, when the dinosaurs roamed, there were neighborhood video stores...remember....before the big chains, before netflix.
Alan's Alley at 207 9th Avenue, (between 22 & 23) is a survivor, and a thriver! Actually by any standard it's a gem of a video store. Their staff use their encyclopedic film knowledge for good, not evil. By this I mean they are incredibly knowledgeable without talking down to customers for not knowing every little arcane bit of trivia about film history.
Alan's Alley always seems to have all the newest films available, and if you give them a call, they happily set one aside for you. If your film is out they'll even give you a call right when it comes in.
Two day rentals are the norm here, but give them a break, their small...but mighty.
Also, they have everything, I mean every little rarity on DVD, plus their entire VHS stock still available for anyone who still hasn't made the switch (like my retired parents).

Time Warner is probably the biggest cable and internet provider in New York City. They are pretty good although the fact that they are so big allows them to skimp on things. You have to make appointments in rather big blocks (4 hours) and I've had many situathion where they have not come during that time or something happened that they messed up and needed to come again, which meant waiting another four hours. The service is good although I would say you should shop around because their prices are high. Don't take any BS from them either. If there is a proble, call and escalate; speak to a supervisor and then to that person's supervisor. Most of the time, if you have any semblance of a case, you will get what you want.

This is the worst phone company ever! I joined mci about 6 months ago and what a mistake that was. They offer a great deal for $45 I would get unlimited local and long distance, call waiting, caller id, etc the works. And also when I get my first bill they were going to pay it. Great, right? Wrong it was horrible, when my first bill came it had a coupon in it for $45 but my bill was not $45 it was $ 75. They added on so many little charges my head was spinning. I thought that it was because I had just sign up. So I waited for my second bill, my second bill was even higher.I couldn't believe it. I called them up and 2 hours after pushing buttons to get to an operator I finally get through to a real person, they informed me that they messed up on my first bill and it should've been $95. I told them about the great deal that they gave me but she told me it was only for 3 months. THEY NEVER TOLD ME THAT! I wasn't able to pay the whole amount and sent in $50, well because my whole bill wasn't paid they shut my phone off. So I paid it now the other day I went to make a phone call my phone was shut off again.. I call them from a pay phone and they tell me that I didn't pay my bill, but I didn't received my bill they don't care, ok so now I take out my credit card and make a instant payment so my phone will go on. They tell me it takes up to 24 hours to get it put back on, ok fine it's Thursday so by Friday I'll have my phone again right? Wrong, Friday comes and I pick up the phone to see if it's working and it's not so there I go again up to the pay phone and call them, they tell me that they can't put the phone on because it's a holiday ( Veterans Day) They got to be kidding me I asked for a supervisor and she gets on and tells me that there's nothing she can do. I blew up I told her the whole story about not getting my bill, making a payment with my credit card and she's telling me I should've known that my bill was due. I told her come Monday I'm switching my service to someone else, and this is one of the worst companies I had ever dealt with. So now you heard my story on mci so save yourself the headache and don't go with them.

Lenox Hill Neighborhood House has excellent programs for people of all ages.For tots, there is an early childhood center and for those in school, an after school program. Some of the counselors can be a little rough so observe the group your child will be in. Senior Services are excellent with a low cost luncheon program and outreach services. They also have a gym with a pool and classes in exercise and computers, etc for moderate prices.
They also fund the shelter at the armory, English classes, a gift shop, etc. etc. Good organization with good fundraising and good programs.

I went into this wireless store and it was ok but I really did not get the feeling of trust nor did I really get any phone offers that I could not turn down. Overall, it has a reasonable selection but I just did not think it was anything better than you could get anywhere else, just by looking at those ads in the newspaper or taking advantage of discounts offered through your work

I hate this Kinko's with the burning passion of a hundred fiery suns. No, really. Sure, all Kinko's suffer from some equipment that doesn't work and poorly trained, disinterested staff, but this one takes it to a new level. Once, I even had a guy who worked there threaten me when I explained that I had not printed out the several hundred page document full of gibberish one of the printers was emitting (in defense of the larger corporation, when I called the 800-number to issue a complaint, they were very helpful). More often than not, the majority of the computers at this location are broken. The same can be said of the copiers. And once they had no paper cutters for several months because they were apparently stolen!
My favorite Kinko's experience though, involved waiting on a line there that seemed determined not to move. Suddenly the woman in front of me exclaimed, very loudly, and very calmly, "Every time I come in here, it makes me want to die." People didn't laugh, but rather very solemnly confessed their own Kinko's inspired fantasies of self-annihilation.
I used to live around the corner from this Kinko's and it was the bane of my existence. Even if it's out of your way, go to a different on. You'll be much, much happier.

These guys don't really have anything special to offer. I'd tried to get them to give me some sort of discount and they couldn't even do anything about it. Also, compared to the other stores, they have the worse inventory. They're always out of some phone! I'd go elsewhere for your new phone.
