Starbucks shake-up: 14 NY stores closing

Starbucks is shutting down 14 of its 'Pick Up' locations across New York by 2026, including several in Manhattan and Yonkers. These spots were a lifesaver for anyone grabbing coffee on the go, but the company says it’s moving away from mobile-only shops to bring back more face-to-face service. For regulars who rely on these quick stops, this change could really shake up the morning routine. What do you think—will you miss the convenience, or are you ready for more human connection with your coffee? #Business #Starbucks #NYC

NYC workers push back on facial scans

NYC office workers are being told to swap their swipe cards for facial recognition scans—without any warning or clear consent. Staff at a Garment District clothing company are calling the move invasive, worried about how their biometric data will be stored and used. With cameras already installed and no updated privacy policy in sight, employees are left questioning who can access their facial data and what happens if it’s compromised. This rollout isn’t just unsettling—it might even be illegal under New York law. How do you feel about biometric tracking at work? Would you trust your employer with your face? #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup #NYC

Watch out for this Amazon refund scam in NYC

Scammers are hitting New Yorkers with fake Amazon refund texts, and it’s costing people big time. The latest trick? You get a message saying there’s a problem with your recent Amazon order and you’re offered a refund—no return needed, just click the link. But that link is a trap to steal your info or money. The FTC says don’t trust unexpected texts, even if they look official. If you’re worried about an order, go straight to Amazon’s website. Has anyone here gotten one of these texts? Let’s share tips to keep each other safe! #Tech #NYC #AmazonScam

Why Greenwich Hotel feels like old-school NYC

Finding a hotel in New York that truly captures the city’s magic isn’t easy, but the Greenwich Hotel in Tribeca nails it. The vibe is all about quiet luxury—think leather chairs, cozy drawing rooms, and a pool set inside a 250-year-old Japanese farmhouse. Service is genuinely warm and attentive, and the minibar even has Robert DeNiro’s favorite snacks (yes, really). It’s not cheap, but if you’re going to splurge, this is the spot. Anyone else miss the New York of the past, or is this kind of hidden elegance what keeps the city special for you? #Travel #NYC #GreenwichHotel

Goo York City Incoming? Underground Blob Alert!

Scientists just found a giant, mysterious 'hot blob' of rock oozing under the Appalachians and inching its way toward NYC.

But it’s wild to think this molten monster might be why the Appalachians are still standing tall! Earth is full of surprises, huh? #Science #science #NYC
