This question cracks me up and I have no witty retort. – SamtheBrand Mar 14 '12 at 5:41

I discovered today that if Wifi stops working, that access point may be hung. Moving to a different location in the park will get you connected. – makerofthings7 Aug 29 '12 at 2:29

Easily found on Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/… – Joe Masilotti Feb 16 '12 at 19:19

if by "highest" he is referring to something else prevalent in the LES, Brooklyn, BX, or near most college dorms. That's not on Wikipedia – makerofthings7 May 16 '12 at 5:44

A little subjective and "Quora-y," but can probably be reworded to elicit an objective and helpful answer. – SamtheBrand Mar 14 '12 at 5:40

...What are the criticisms of the MTA Fasttrack program? – makerofthings7 Mar 15 '12 at 14:41

I'd be very impressed if someone did some independent analysis to answer this question, but I know it would never happen. Why? Because the information would be really hard to find and ... who really cares anyway? – foson Mar 28 '12 at 13:20

	I've never had a problem getting a taxi to take me to Brooklyn. Of course, I always get IN the cab, close the door, and then tell the driver my destination. – Lauren Ipsum Mar 31 '12 at 23:55
	"What are common techniques to ensure my cab driver takes me to my (inconvenient) destination?" – Joe Masilotti Sep 6 '12 at 21:01

T line? Is there anything online about this. I'm curious! – Moshe Mar 22 '12 at 12:50

Schedule I couldn't find. – Karlson Mar 22 '12 at 13:00

it's the mythical 2nd ave line: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…) – adambox Aug 1 '12 at 12:55

If you google "Tribeca" you'll find the Wikipedia page that says in its 2nd sentence "the triangle is properly bounded by Canal Street, West Street, Broadway, and Vesey Street" – rifaco Jul 31 '12 at 21:25

closed as not a real question by Joel Spolsky♦ Jan 17 '12 at 20:02

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form.

If we're following the principle of not allowing questions that are easily found on Wikipedia, this one fails for sure. – Spencer Kormos Jan 17 '12 at 19:14

Well it's House-ton obviously! :-) – Moshe Jan 22 '12 at 22:50

Possible on topic alternative: How should I respond when someone says Houston incorrectly? (or how should I respond when someone asks this frequently asked question) – makerofthings7 Mar 14 '12 at 3:51

	Empire State Building – Moshe Mar 22 '12 at 12:51
	@Moshe Are you talking about jumping from it? I thought about helicopter or something – VMAtm Mar 22 '12 at 13:24
	No, NYC SkyRide. Actually, I guess I interpreted "from the air" to mean "from a high altitude". But there is some helicopter thing from chelse piers or the south st seaport iirc. – Moshe Mar 22 '12 at 13:45

This question is not a good fit to our Q&A format. We expect answers to generally involve facts, references, or specific expertise; this question will likely solicit opinion, debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion.

I might be interested in knowing safe / unsafe areas, but the "most dangerous" just seems like trivia. – David Fullerton♦ Jan 23 '12 at 21:48

All of these questions with the word 'best' and 'most' are probably not a great fit for the SE engine. Too subjective. – Michael Pryor Jan 31 '12 at 23:33

I'm pretty disappointed by these questions overall. It's like they've never heard of google on some of these. – It Grunt Feb 1 '12 at 5:19

Maybe there's a better way to word this? What info do you actually want to receive? – SamtheBrand Mar 14 '12 at 5:54

Expensive is easy. It's easy to get overcharged for something. Loud with minimal distortion, or which venue has the largest acoustic "sweet spot" might be good alternatives – makerofthings7 Mar 14 '12 at 18:57
