New Yorkers are unfazed after the terrorist attack at the Port Authority. Colbert captures the spirit perfectly:

Don't listen to Bloomberg – you can boycott United and fly places. We love a lot of things from America, just not its airlines. United’s recent fiascos are extreme examples, but Delta and American are not that great either. For international flights, go with Korean Air, Eva, Cathay, Qantas, KLM, Emirates, Qatar, you name it. For domestic flights, go with SouthWest, JetBlue or Virgin America. You can definitely do without Delta, American and United until they stop treating their paying passengers like borderline criminals. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-04-13/boycotting-united-will-never-work-here-s-why

Angry about what happened in Chicago? The airline monopoly leaves you with few choices.

Ever since Tesla released its first cars, we’ve been dying to test drive one. Tesla opened two showrooms in New York a year ago, and they invite people to set up test drives to try out their cars. Make sure you book your test drive before your trip to New York: https://www.tesla.com/support/test-drive
Needless to say Model X is my all time favorite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqJQFzkZsPI

Test drives are available at all Tesla store locations. The first step is to request a test drive on our website. A product specialist will then contact you within one day to schedule a convenient time. Please plan to arrive ten minutes before your test drive appointment. If your Tesla store is loca...

- What do you want for your birthday?
- I'd like to go see Hamilton.
- Ouch. It's almost impossible to buy tickets. I need a year to prepare. :(
- Well, you asked.

We checked out this free museum BRIC House in Brooklyn on a bitterly cold afternoon, and lucked out – there was a “night club” scene for kids at 3pm, with a DJ and awesome music.

Không liên quan và có thể đã quá quen thuộc với người khác nhưng bây giờ mình mới được trải nghiệm tính năng đọc chính tả bằng tiếng Việt cho điện thoại tự ghi ra trên iPhone (chắc android cũng có). Bạn nào muốn thử chỉ cần mở chức năng này ra trên iPhone: setting/general/keyboard/enable dictation. Khi bàn phím ở chế độ tiếng Việt, chỉ cần nhấn nút microphone trên bàn phím iPhone là có thể bắt đầu đọc chính tả cho iPhone đánh máy thay mình. So happy! :)
