Sometimes you can’t hold it in and you just gotta go. Yes, I’m talking about the bathroom!

When your out and about and need a bathroom, your options can be limited. You can try to find a Starbucks, go into a store which might have a public bathroom or go into a restaurant.

A few years back I wrote a post about A Few Apps For When You Just Gotta Go. Continue reading You Can Now Reserve A Private Bathroom In NYC With An App →

Juno

Last week I received an e-mail from rideshare service Juno which announced that they were now available at NYC airports.

While I’ve never used them, I had heard good things about the company and that their prices were cheaper than rivals like Uber and Lyft.

Competition is usually a good thing so I figured that having another rideshare at JFK and LGA could only help to bring down the cost of a ride home from the airport. Continue reading Rideshare Service Juno Available at NYC Airports! →
