Last week I wrote about Jollibee, a fun food recommendation from Anthony Bourdain.
Jollibee is a Filipino fast food chain which some might consider the McDonald’s of the Philippines. While there are over 30 locations in the US, most are located on the West Coast (primarily in California).
The Michael W Travels family lives in Brooklyn, NY so we visited the Jollibee located in Queens. However, our options to dine at the chain will soon be increasing! Continue reading Filipino Chain Jollibee Coming To NYC

An Uber driver was arrested for injuring a service dog, another driver drove through the closed Lincoln Tunnel in December 2015. Last summer an Uber driver was accused of rape. In May 2015 a driver with an Uber sign in his car window sexually assaulted a woman.

When I saw the image and headline in yesterday’s Gothamist Daily e-mail, I couldn’t wait to read the details…
It’s been a while since I’ve come across a strange Uber situation. (Ex. Uber driver allegedly attacks passenger with hammer.)
To be honest, I’ve come to understand Uber’s value in the convenience of using a mobile phone to get a ride and not have to deal with any money changing hands since it’s handled through the app. After my first time using Uber, I wondered if someone could please explain the big deal.
